**Hi there, I'm an expert in setting up nearby devices. I'm happy to provide you with detailed instructions on how to proceed.**

Step 1: Enable Bluetooth on Both Devices

The first step is to enable Bluetooth on both the nearby device you want to connect to and the device you're using to set up the connection.

On Android devices, you can typically do this by swiping down from the top of the screen and tapping the Bluetooth icon. On iOS devices, go to Settings > Bluetooth and toggle the switch to the On position.

**Step 2: Make the Nearby Device Discoverable**

Once Bluetooth is enabled on both devices, you need to make the nearby device discoverable. This means that the device will be visible to other Bluetooth devices in the area.

The process for making a device discoverable varies depending on the device.
Generally, you'll need to go to the Bluetooth settings on the device and look for an option to make the device discoverable.

Step 3: Scan for Nearby Devices

With the nearby device discoverable, you can now scan for nearby Bluetooth devices. On Android devices, go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the Scan button. On iOS devices, go to Settings > Bluetooth and pull down on the screen to refresh the list of devices.

Step 4: Pair the Devices

Once you've found the nearby device in the scan results, tap on it to pair the devices. You may be prompted to enter a passkey or PIN code. This code is typically displayed on the nearby device.

Step 5: Test the Connection

Once the devices are paired, you can test the connection by sending a message or file to the nearby device. If the message or file is successfully sent and received, the connection is working properly.
