Abstract

Various arrangements for establishing a link between two electronic devices are presented herein. A pairing mode may be activated to establish the link. A first electronic wireless device can determine that a distance to a second wireless electronic device meets a distance threshold criterion. In response to the pairing mode being activated and the distance to the second wireless electronic device meeting the distance threshold criterion, a graphic element, such as a glow effect, can be presented indicative of direction and distance to the second wireless electronic device.
