Connecting Using the Bluetooth Setup Wizard

Connecting From the Microsoft® Windows® System Tray

Connecting From Bluetooth™ Explorer

From Bluetooth Explorer, right-click a device name and select Connect to... the desired service.

NOTE: Only available services are displayed in the menus.

In the Folders pane, select a device, and then, in the right pane, right-click a service provided by that device and select Connect.

Connecting Using the Bluetooth Setup Wizard

From Bluetooth Explorer, right-click My Bluetooth Places and select Bluetooth Setup Wizard.

From the Windows system tray, right-click the Bluetooth icon, select Bluetooth Setup Wizard, and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

Connecting From the Microsoft® Windows® System Tray

In the Windows system tray, right-click the Bluetooth icon, select Quick Connect, and then the Bluetooth service that you wish to use.

If this computer has created a connection to the desired type of service in the past, the options are:

The name(s) of any device(s) with which prior connections to this type of service have been established. Select a name from the list to reestablish connection.
Other Devices...this option makes it possible to search for additional devices that provide the desired service. To use this option, select a device from the list and click Connect.
If your computer has never created a connection to this type of service, the only option is Find Devices.... Select this option to search for devices that provide the desired service. To use this option, select a device from the list and click Connect.

After the connection to the service is created, complete any necessary additional steps such as starting and/or configuring the program that will use the service.

Some programs will close their open Bluetooth connections when they have finished using the remote service (the fax program, for example, closes the connection automatically when the fax transmission is complete).

Other programs have no way to determine whether an open Bluetooth connection is still in use (dial-up networking, for example, may not be transmitting or receiving at any given moment, but may be still in use.) This type of connection must be closed manually by the operator when it is no longer needed.
