The JBL flip speaker does not pair with iPad-Air. Why?

The iPad1 and my iPod touch pair instandly with the JBL flip speaker, but the new iPad Air does not link, even if you keep pushing the JBL startbutton.

Did Apple change something in the Bluetooth settings ?

iPad, iOS 7.0.3, Air

I found the solution.

Start bluetooth on the iPad

Start the JBL speaker, the button lights blue and you hear a short warning-sound.

Now push the startbutton on the JBL again and hold it.

The light turns red.

Look at the iPad and after a short period the name JBL pops up.

Stop pushing the "red" button at the JBL

Select the JBL name at the iPad to connect.

When it is connected or paired, your done.

The next time you want to connect the JBL you do not have to repeat the above, because your iPad knows you have a JBL.
