Look for instructions ton the manufacturer's website.

I also have this problem with my Honda my 13 CRV. I accidentally hit forget this device and it won't connect. I also hit 'delete all personal data" on Crv. My iPhone 5 is always in discoverable mode but won't come up with the crv's Bluetooth to pair with. I have reset all settings powered down, taken it to dealer all to no avail.

Thanks so much for sharing how you paired a device after hitting the 'forget this device' option. I had done this with BT headphones; I no longer had the instructions for pairing but held the volume button down for several seconds which put it into 'pairing' mode. So I final got it synced with my iPhone again. Bless you!

I have read every word of this thread.

I chose "forget this device" so my UE Roll (AWESOME) portable Bluetooth speaker could pair with someone else's cell phone. Now my iPhone 6s Plus will not recognize or pair with the speaker, when I put the speaker in pairing mode, while the iPhone searches to discover any nearby bluetooth devices.

I tried the suggestion on this thread, holding down the + volume button and the power button for 10 seconds, while in pairing mode, and while not in pairing mode.

I also tried a soft reset. I did the latest update to to OS. I did everything I could think of.

I read in a different thread that when an iPhone refuses to re-discover a Bluetooth device, a hard reset from the Setup menu has to be done to the iPhone, which causes a factory reset (but does not erase any stored data on the iPhone). I also read of people who did such a reset with no results but all the headaches of having to restore personal preferences that get erased.

I appreciate your help so much!

I tired to pair to my keyboard but I accidentally hit forget device when I really just wanted to disconnect, I have tried turning my Bluetooth on and off on both things and then I have done a Network reset and that hasn’t helped. What else can I do?

One word for this........................... Awesome; it burst out when this worked

all the suggestions were just a suggestion, this was the real remedy.

Don't forget to turn on the 'personal hotspot' in 'settings'

Moral: "forgetting" a device is dangerous.

It's not dangerous. In fact, it can often be a useful troubleshooting step.

Omg it did work, thanks you safe me

What do you mean? I have Bluetooth earp

What is it didn’t come with a manual?

What do you mean?

Sent from my iPhone

How do I re-pair my device?

I found when I clicked on forget this device it would remove it from the known list. When I scrolled down I found it in the lower list of newly known but would not connect. I then clicked on forget this device in that list and it disappeared all together. I then turned blue tooth off, placed my hands free in pairing mode and started the blue tooth on my Iphone and guess what, it worked. Had to forget the device twice!
