1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one port configured to electrically couple to a first radio frequency (RF) device and a second RF device; and
a microcontroller configured to;
determine whether the second RF device is enabled for automatic pairing with the first RF device;
in response to determining that the second RF device is enabled for pairing, exchange a device code via wire connections of the apparatus from the first RF device to the second RF device;
subsequent to exchanging the device code, wirelessly pair the first RF device with the second RF device using the device code.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer readable media that can facilitate the transfer of power between at least two electrical devices. At least one of the electrical devices is preferably a battery operated device. The present invention may also be used to facilitate the transfer of information among electrical devices. For example, the present invention may be used to automatically pair two Bluetooth devices together.
