Your iPad is configured to utilize a wireless technology called
Bluetooth, which enables you to make wireless connections to other
Bluetooth compatible devices. Most laptop computers come with Bluetooth
built in to the system as well as most cell phones. The Bluetooth device
allows your iPad to connect with any Bluetooth compatible device such
as keyboard or mouse, cell phone, digital camera, printer, headset etc.
Bluetooth technology is for short range use therefore 33 feet is the
maximum distance two Bluetooth devices should be apart from each other.
Configuring and connecting any two Bluetooth devices is very simple and can be broken into two distinct phases: Discoverable and Pairing.
Bluetooth devices only broadcast their availability when you want them to. This is called making your device "discoverable". For privacy and functionality, many Bluetooth devices need to be paired with another device before the connection is established. "Pairing" or "to pair" or "paired" is simply the technical language on making a permanent connection between two Bluetooth devices. This is useful because once two devices are paired; you never have to configure the devices again. Just turn them on and two devices will automatically connect to each other even in a room full of other Bluetooth devices. All Bluetooth devices can be "un-paired," meaning you can break the connection and pair with another Bluetooth device.
To Pair a device, you must first make it discoverable, connect to the device of your choosing, and enter a multi-digit (usually four) pass code or PIN. Pairing devices such as your cell phone with your iPad will allow you to choose a unique pass code. For other devices such as Bluetooth headset, the headset comes with a default passkey that you enter in your iPad during the pairing process. (Notes: Even though most headsets default passkey is 0000, your connection will be secure with your iPad.)
