      1. On your apple device, head to 'Settings' > 'Bluetooth'.
        Find your hardware name under 'OTHER DEVICES' if you've not paired this device before. If you've previously paired your hardware, you'll find it in the top 'MY DEVICES' list > Tap on it
        Note: The phone may now ask you for a pairing pin code for the corresponding hardware, if pairing for the first time - the code is usually 0000 (4 x zeros). Enter this when requested.
      2. The phone bluetooth settings should now say 'Connected' next to the equipment name. Your hardware may display a light or an icon to indicate connection to the phone/tablet
