1. A pairing method for wireless communication with a control apparatus of a medical device, the pairing method comprising the steps of: providing an operating unit arranged and intended for controlling the medical device, the operating unit including at least two operating elements; activating a radio module on the control apparatus of the medical device to place the control apparatus in a pairing mode in which the control apparatus searches for an external radio module; actuating the at least two operating elements of the operating unit in a combined actuation to activate a radio module on the operating unit; detecting the activated radio module on the operating unit via the radio module of the control apparatus to initiate a pairing procedure between the control apparatus and the operating unit; and pairing the control apparatus and the operating unit, upon completion of which the medical device is controlled by user-side actuation of the at least two operating elements to output instructions to the medical device, wherein said user-side actuation of the at least two operating elements to output instructions to the medical device is different from said combined actuation of the at least two operating elements to activate the radio module on the operating unit.
