2. Go back one screen to Settings -> General -> Bluetooth -> ON.
3. Press the Home button and launch Whiteboard.
• You can safely ignore the alert that says "Not Connected to a Wi-Fi Network" -- just tap OK!

5. On ONE of the devices, tap the name of the other device.
6. Wait up to 60 seconds for the connection to establish. The first resolve takes the longest; if you disconnect and reconnect after this, it should be much faster.
