Before you try to set up a wireless Bluetooth connection, make sure
that your computer has Bluetooth capability.
The LEGO NXT has a Class 2 Bluetooth radio. This will have a range of
approximate 10 meters when used with a compatible Bluetooth device
(class 1 or 2).

Make sure that your NXT is turned on. Also
make sure that you have Bluetooth set to
On and that your NXT is set to be Visible
(read how in the Bluetooth submenu on
the NXT on page 42). Also make sure that
Bluetooth is installed and enabled on your
computer. See your computer’s and
Bluetooth device’s instruction manuals
for details.
Find the Controller at the lower right corner
of the work area in the software. Click on the
NXT window button (the one at the upper left)
and the NXT window will open.
