Tips

When connecting a phone, make sure your phone is unlocked and showing the Bluetooth settings screen.

If you add a Bluetooth keyboard, you can disable your Touch Cover or Type Cover by folding it back or removing it.

If Windows doesn’t find a device, see the following topics Why isn't Windows finding my device? and What if a device isn't installed properly? on Windows.com.

1.From the Start screen, type devices and printers.

2.Tap or click Settings, and then tap or click Devices and Printers from the search results.

Troubleshooting

If you see a yellow warning icon next to a device, you can troubleshoot the problem by tapping and holding or right-clicking the device, and then selecting Troubleshoot.

Connect Surface to a TV, monitor, or projector

You can make photos, videos, and presentations bigger by connecting your Surface to a TV, monitor, or projector. For example, you can connect your Surface to an HDTV and watch movies on a big screen, or connect Surface to a second monitor so that you can get more work done.

To connect Surface to another screen you’ll need an adapter (sold separately) and a compatible VGA or HDMI cable. For more info, see one of these topics on Surface.com:
