How to get a device back on Bluetooth after forgetting the device

I accidentally instructed my iPhone to "forget" a Bluetooth enabled device. The device will not appear in the pairing list, even after resetting network settings, turning Bluetooth off and on, etc. Do you have any suggestions?

Each device will have its own method to initiate discovery mode. You will need to research the device you are trying to pair and then after it is in discovery mode, it will show up in your Bluetooth settings on your iPhone. You just need to do this one time, and then it will reconnect like it did before, until you forget the device.
