iPod touch 4th gen. connects to headphones but am unable to get the bluetooth menus as the manuals indicate. Have tried reset and all other suggestions.

My iPod touch 4th gen. allows for a connection to a bluetooth headphone (no mic.) but does not give the bluetooth menu to allow for the headphones to be used. The user manual states a bluetooth menu will appear when in music app. Any thoughts?

Thank you!

iPod touch (4th generation), iOS 5.1.1
