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.
