How have you set it up? What commands are you entering at the prompt?

First post!

You probably don't have the bluetooth service running.

# systemctl start bluetooth

Then go for 'bluetoothctl' again, and hit you should be able to get going. I ran into this myself when I first came to Arch from Ubuntu.

To make sure the bluetooth service always starts automatically, run..

# systemctl enable bluetooth
