Q. How to put micro: bit into ‘pairing mode’?

If it fails to enter ‘pairing mode’ anyway after following all the instructions and procedures to enter the mode (for instance, the status of micro: bit only seems to be restarting after all the steps), you can try to download a simple micro: bit program (e.g. display when the computer is turned on) with MakeCode on computer, with the use of USB cable. Afterwards, retry entering pairing mode on iPad.
