A communications device, comprising:
- a display;
- a short range communication system;
- a processor communicatively coupled to the display and the short range communication system;
- and
- a non-transitory memory having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the communications device to:
- render a plurality of icons on the display, at least one icon being configured to launch a short range wireless set-up application associated with the short range communication system;
- and
- render a status indicator associated with the icon to convey a status of the short range wireless set-up application, the status indicating whether the communications device is paired to an external short range wireless device.
A method performed on a communications device having a display and a short range communication system, the method comprising:
- rendering, via a processor, a plurality of icons on the display, at least one icon being configured to launch a short range wireless set-up application associated with the short range communication system;
- and
- rendering a status indicator associated with the icon to convey a status of the short range wireless set-up application, the status indicating whether the communications device is paired to an external short range wireless device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause a communications device to perform steps comprising:
- rendering a plurality of icons on a display, at least one icon being configured to launch a short range wireless set-up application associated with a short range communication system on the communications device;
- and
- rendering a status indicator associated with the icon to convey a status of the short range wireless set-up application, the status indicating whether the communications device is paired to an external short range wireless device.
