2. Determine which pairing process your hosting device employs.
3. Turn on discoverable mode.
4. Make sure the two devices are in close enough proximity to one another.
5. Power the devices off and back on. A soft reset sometimes can resolve an issue.
6. Power down likely interferers.
7. Charge up both devices you're trying to pair.
8. Delete a device from the hosting device and rediscover it.
