You should be given an option to pair using a code. I'm not certain, on how this was accomplished. It has been a year since I tried pairing using the code. It must of have been more trouble & just as time consuming, being I've used the camera to pair since initial setup. Donna > > I don’t

Hi Loreal. I listened to a tutorial on initially pairing the watch. The steps were done so quickly that I’m not remembering everything. I’ll tell you what I remember, and perhaps this will be enough to get you there. First, on the Apple Watch, set the language and region. Once that’s done,

I don’t need help in how to reset the watch. What I needhelp with is once I reset the watch, how do I initiate the first pairing of it with my phone? The point at which your phone tells you to put the watch in the frame. Obviously this is in reference to the camera. But there must be a way for

Hi. I’m not sure what you want to do. Your message sounds like you want to get your Apple Watch as if nobody did anything to it. If so, this would also erase the cell sim in it. If so, I don’t know how to do so. If you just want to reset the watch, do one of the two following. Press and hold

You’re right; I talked to someone this morning, and I couldn’t hear VoiceOVer. I think there may be a setting buried somewhere that changes this behavior; it might be worth checking with Apple Accessibility if it’s not possible for the person to call on a different phone. Best, Anna > On Aug

As far as my experience goes, one cannot hear Voiceover unless using another phone, which I do when talking to Apple Accessibility; they can hear Voiceover then. Otherwise a caller can't. Sometimes, while talking to someone, I'll go in and check weather or texts messages, etc. They cannot hear

If the iPhone is their only phone; you still could simply call him. I'd recommend he use earphones, but you could tell him things to do; and he could try them while on the call with you. The downside is you won't hear what his VoiceOver is saying, but he could report to you what it says. This
