Using a Bluetooth connection
Bluetooth is a technology enabling you to transfer data wirelessly over short
distances between many different types of devices. Bluetooth-enabled devices
include computers, cell phones, tablets, wireless headsets, and keyboards.
To use Bluetooth, you must ensure the following:
1. Bluetooth is enabled on both devices.
2. Your devices are "paired" (or connected).
Enabling and disabling Bluetooth
The Bluetooth adapter must be enabled on both devices. For your computer, this
may be an external switch, a software setting, or a separate Bluetooth dongle
plugged into the computer’s USB port (if no internal Bluetooth adapter is available).
Note: Please check your devices owner’s manual to determine how to
turn on its Bluetooth adapter.
Then, from the notification area, click the Bluetooth icon, and select Open Settings.
47
English
Select the Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer check box, click Apply,
and then click OK.
The Bluetooth adapter in your computer is now enabled and ready for you to add
Bluetooth devices.
To disable your computer’s Bluetooth adapter, do the following:
1. Press the Windows key
+ <W> and then type Wireless.
2. In the results, click on Wireless.
3. Click the toggle under Bluetooth to enable/disable it.
Adding a Bluetooth device
Every new device must first be "paired" with your computer’s Bluetooth adapter. This
means it must first be authenticated for security purposes. You only need to pair
once. After that, simply turning on the Bluetooth adapter of both devices will connect
them.
From the notification area, click the Bluetooth icon, and select Add a Bluetooth
Device.
48
English
Click on the device you want to add.
A code displays on your computer, which should match the code displayed on your
device. Select Yes. Then, accept the pairing from your device.
Note: Some devices using older versions of the Bluetooth technology
require both devices to enter a PIN. In the case of one of the devices
not having any inputs (as in a headset), the passcode is hardcoded
into the device (usually "0000" or "1234"). Consult your device’s user
manual for more information.
Your device will show up in the list of devices if it was successfully paired. Open the
Control Panel and under Hardware and Sound click on View devices and

printers. Right cilck on your device and select Advanced Operations > Connect to
operation window.
The operation window enables you to play music and audio from your device
through your computer, send files to your device and change Bluetooth settings.
