The wireless transceiver and the antenna may be operable in an initial mode and an operational mode after successful pairing. The initial mode may have a shorter range than the operational mode. The mobile wireless communications device may exchange pairing tokens with the wireless accessory device using the initial mode, and communicate with the wireless accessory device using the operational mode after successful pairing.
