Using Bluetooth Devices

Select models only

Some models of the HP TouchSmart PC are Bluetooth-enabled, so that you can connect all kinds of Bluetooth-enabled wireless devices. Bluetooth devices create a personal area network (PAN), which connects other Bluetooth devices, such as computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras. In a PAN, each device communicates directly with the other devices, and the devices must be relatively close together.

To enable a Bluetooth device:

1Refer to your Bluetooth device’s instructions to make it “discoverable” (sends out a radio signal).

2Click the Windows Vista start button , Control Panel, and then click Hardware and Sound. Click Bluetooth Devices. Click Add. Follow onscreen instructions.

3If your Bluetooth device is a printer, click the Windows Vista start button , Control Panel, and then click Hardware and Sound. Click Printers. Click Add a printer.

Adjusting the Ambient Light

The HP TouchSmart Ambient Light casts a cool white glow from the base of the computer. By default, the Ambient Light is turned off when you turn on the computer.

To control the Ambient Light:

Press the Ambient Light button on the left side of the computer to turn the Ambient Light on.

Continue pressing the button to cycle through low intensity, medium intensity, high intensity, off, and on.

NOTE: The Ambient Light will dim when the computer goes into sleep mode.
