Installing the PC Card and Virtual COM Ports

If you are accessing this manual as part of your Bluetooth PC Card installation, skip to step 3 below.

1With the computer on and Windows 98 SE, Me, or 2000 running, insert the Bluetooth Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive. The auto-start feature starts the installation. If auto-start is disabled on your computer, click Start>Run and type d:\setup.exe (where d: is your CD-ROM drive).

2Select Install Bluetooth Hardware.

3Insert the PC Card into the PC Card slot (see the first illustration below). Push it into the slot until you feel it seat securely. The connector containing the antenna works like a ball-point pen—press it to extend it, press it again to hide it. When the connector is extended, the blue plastic antenna is lying down. To use the antenna, raise it to a vertical position (see the second illustration below).

After inserting the PC Card, if auto-start is enabled and nothing happens within five seconds, restart your computer and log in to Windows. The installation process will begin when the computer restarts.

4Respond to the prompts as they appear.

If you are prompted for the drivers, enter the following path, where d:is the location of the CD-ROM drive where the Bluetooth Installation CD is inserted:

Windows 2000: d:\drivers.W2K

Windows 98 SE and Windows Me: d:\drivers.W98

During the installation process, you may receive prompts for the Windows 2000, Windows 98 SE, or Windows Me installation CD. Insert the CD and indicate the correct path.

5Restart the computer whenever you are prompted.

Your computer will go through a brief installation process during which it will display several windows indicating what is currently installing. This takes a few minutes.
