2.5.5 VarioUltra v1.33 with an iOS Device (Bluetooth).
For this section, we are using an iPhone 6 with iOS 9.3.2 along with a
VarioUltra 40 with version 1.33 software.
Although VarioUltra can be paired with iOS devices running iOS 7 or
later through iOS 8.2, doing so requires you to change the Bluetooth
emulation to VarioConnect or Pronto. The iOS 8.3 and newer versions
include support for VarioUltra, which means the Bluetooth emulation
mode can be left in the default setting. If applicable, refer to section 2.3
for instructions on changing the emulation mode to use with iOS devices
running version 7 through 8.2.
New for VarioUltra version 1.33 is the ability to initiate pairing from your
iOS device. Here are the steps you need to follow:
1) In VarioUltra Braille Notetaker, enter command B9+D1 to switch to
Computer Braille.
2) Next, go to Settings > Bluetooth. If Bluetooth is off, switch it on now.
Do not exit from Bluetooth settings.
3) On your iOS device, go to VoiceOver > Braille settings. Swipe down
to the "Choose a Braille Display and find VarioUltra. Once found,
double tap on VarioUltra to initiate pairing. Enter the pin code 1111
when prompted to do so by your iOS device.
4) VarioUltra will prompt you to accept the pairing from the iOS device.

device.

to 'Choose a Braille Display', and located VarioUltra. Double-tap to
