6Install and configure the USB Bluetooth music / voice adapter

No separate software is required to install the Bluetooth music / voice adapter as it is pre- installed on the adapter.

Locate a free USB port on your computer and insert the Bluetooth music / voice adapter. Windows will recognize it and display that if found new hardware. If you are prompted for a device driver, please select “Install the software automatically” and restart your PC if required. Windows will install the Bluetooth music/voice adapter by default as your “Windows preferred audio device” everytime you plug the adapter into your USB port.

This means that your music will be streamed via the Bluetooth music / voice adapter to your Bluetooth headset and not to your speakers or another previously installed audio device on your PC.Also the Bluetooth headsets microphone will be used for recordings.

If you do not want the USB music / voice adapter to be your “Windows preferred audio device”:

1Open the window for your PC’s “Sounds and Multimedia properties”.You can find this window by following this menu path:

Start Settings Control Panel Sounds and Multimedia

2Click on the “Audio Tab” and select the “Sound Playback” and “Sound Recording” device, that you prefer to use (instead of the Philips SHB6111 Bluetooth music / voice adapter).

3Confirm your selection by clicking “o.k.”

If you want to restore the original settings access the same menu and replace the entries

in the “Sound Playback” and “Sound Recording” fields with “Philips SHB6111 Bluetooth music / voice adapter”.Alternatively you can unplug the Bluetooth music / voice adapter and plug it into the USB port again to achieve the same effect.
