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).
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 > Bluetooth & devices, and click the
toggle under Bluetooth to enable/disable it.
Note
Please check your devices owner’s manual to determine how to
turn on its Bluetooth adapter.
