Bluetooth Technology

What should I do if other Bluetooth devices cannot find my computer?

❑Make sure both devices have the Bluetooth function enabled.

❑Make sure the WIRELESS switch is on and the WIRELESS indicator light is lit on your computer.

❑You cannot use the Bluetooth function when your computer is in a power saving mode. Bring the computer back to Normal

mode, then turn on the WIRELESS switch.

❑Your computer and the device may be too far apart. Wireless Bluetooth technology works best when the devices are within

33 feet (10 meters) of each other.

What should I do if I cannot find the Bluetooth device I want to communicate with?

❑Check that the Bluetooth function of the device you want to communicate with is on. See the other device's manual for

more information.

❑If the device you want to communicate with is already communicating with another Bluetooth device, it may not be found

or it may not be able to communicate with your computer.

❑To allow other Bluetooth devices to communicate with your computer, follow these steps:

1Click Start, Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Bluetooth Devices, and Bluetooth Settings.

2Click the Options tab and select the Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer check box.
