Sometimes the first couple of pairings are more difficult. If you continue to have problems, I'd definitely talk to APH. Here is the sequence I use for pairing up my BrailleConnect 24 to my iPad. 
1. Turn on iPad
2. Turn on Bluetooth
3. Turn on BrailleConnect
4. Turn on Voiceover with triple click home

The device connects every time now flawlessly, but sometimes it takes a few seconds.

Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

We just got the APH Refreshabraille18 for our son, and trying to pair it with our iPad iOS 7. We followed the print instructions with it, as well as followed tutorials on YouTube. We did try to pair it via Bluetooth under accessibility/voice over/Braille. It locates the device and is able to stay connected for one second and then disconnects. We went to the Apple store and they could not pair it either. We are thinking that it's an issue with the Refreshabraille. Any one have ideas? We did contact APH.

Thanks,
Put
