IPod Nano 7th Gen won't connect to bluetooth headphones?

Question

IPod Nano 7th Gen won't connect to bluetooth headphones?

My IPod Nano takes a very long time to locate my bluetooth headphones (STB13WI021), when it finally does locate that, I go to pair up and get the message to "turn on the headphones and move them closer". They are on and sitting right next to the IPod. I have a friend that tried to link my IPod up to their Motorola bluetooth headphones, it didn't take as long to locate it, but when we tried to pair up we got the same message. What do I need to do? 😕

Here's a workaround that usually works for me:

1) Click on the device under bluetooth and "Forget" it.

2) Turn off bluetooth.

3) Do a hard reset - hold the middle button and the power button down until the Apple logo appears. (This just turns the device off and on).

4) Turn on bluetooth.

5) Put your device in discovery mode.

6) Click on the device under bluetooth.

It has worked now twice in a row, but I had to do it a couple of times this morning for it to work.
