Next, tap the  Bluetooth  item.

Then our  Bluetooth Settings screen appears. Note that the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 is currently OFF. So it does not show in either the  My Devices  or  Other Devices lists yet,  Why?  Because we’ve not yet paired it with this iPad before.  Furthermore, the speaker is not yet transmitting its BT connection info.
