Bluetooth Devices

Select models only

Some models of the HP TouchSmart 9100 Business 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; the devices must be
relatively close together.

To enable a Bluetooth device:

1

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

2

Click the Start button, Control Panel, and then click Hardware and Sound. Find your Bluetooth
device and follow onscreen instructions.

3

If your Bluetooth device is a printer, tap the Start button, then Control Panel, and then tap
Hardware and Sound. Tap Printers. Tap Add a printer.

TV Tuner and Windows Media Center

Watch and record your favorite TV programs by using Windows Media Center. Menus and features in
Windows Media Center are accessible through touch, remote control, keyboard, and mouse. TV tuners
