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
Bluetooth 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).
Enable Bluetooth and add a 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.
Bluetooth on your computer is disabled by default. To
enable your computer’s Bluetooth adapter, do the following:
1. Press the Windows key or select the Windows Start
button > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth, and click the
toggle under Bluetooth to enable/disable it.
2. Your computer will automatically start searching for
devices, as well as make itself visible to other devices.
Note
Please check your devices owner’s manual to determine how to
turn on its Bluetooth adapter.
