As soon as you enter the Bluetooth menu item, the Bluetooth will turn on, but it is not yet
visible to other devices for pairing. The first option in the Bluetooth menu is "pair a new
device." As you enter this menu item braille Me will show a message – “waiting for pair
request”. At this point, Braille Me would be visible to other Bluetooth devices. If you had
paired four devices earlier, then it will show an error “pair list full” and will not allow you
to proceed further. In this case, you need to delete any one of the paired devices
before proceeding.
Now on your smartphone, navigate to Bluetooth settings, turn it on and now you will find
Braille Me listed under the available device. Initiate pairing from the smartphone, and
you will hear a sound once pairing is completed on the smartphone. Your smartphone
might ask to confirm the pairing, please go ahead and press OK. Note, that the pairing
time is limited, once initiating the process, you need to complete it within 10-15 secs.
Wait for a few secs until Braille Me changes its message from “waiting for pair request”
to an edit box asking “Enter paired device name.” Enter a short name which you can
use to identify your smartphone. Braille Me allows you to store four devices with distinct
names. This naming is required to identify devices in a situation when more than one
device has Bluetooth on.
Note, until you do not receive a notification on Braille Me saying – “Paired to device
name,” the pairing process is not complete. if your smartphone is showing Braille Me
under the paired list but Braille Me is not showing the message - “Paired to device
name,” even after 5-10 sec then you need to remove Braille Me from the smartphone
pair list and redo the pairing process.
To remove any device from the pair list, select the delete paired device option in the
Bluetooth menu.
