Using your Q1 with your Computer
You can use your Q1 to connect to any Bluetooth-enabled device that supports either the Hands-Free
Profile or Headset Bluetooth Profile. This includes computers with built-in Bluetooth functionality, as
well as ones with a USB Bluetooth dongle.
In addition to being equipped with Bluetooth hardware, your computer must also have some Bluetooth
software (referred to as the "Bluetooth Stack") installed on it. This may have been pre-installed on
your computer, or it may have been provided with your Bluetooth dongle. You must ensure that this
software is installed properly before you attempt to use the Q1 with your computer.
If you experience problems using your Q1 with your computer, check that you are
using the latest version of the Bluetooth stack software provided by the manufacturer
of your computer's Bluetooth hardware.
Pairing the Q1 with your Computer
In order to use the Q1 with your Bluetooth-enabled computer, you need to pair the Q1 with your PC.
The pairing process is similar to the process of pairing a phone.
1. Start the Bluetooth software on your computer, and make sure that your computer's Bluetooth
hardware is active.
2. Put the Q1 into pairing mode (for example by using the "Pair Me" command).
3. Use your computer's Bluetooth software to search for devices, and select the BlueAnt Q1 from
the list. If your computer prompts you to select a Bluetooth profile, select the Headset Profile.
If you are not prompted to select a profile, the computer may default to the Hands-Free Profile.
If you subsequently experience problems using the Q1 with your computer, you should repeat
the pairing process and make sure that the computer is configured to use the Headset Profile
(you may need to select "Advanced" or "Expert" mode in the Bluetooth software in order for your
computer to prompt you to choose between the Bluetooth profiles).
4. Once the pairing process is complete, you are ready to use the Q1 with your computer. If the
computer did not connect to the Q1 automatically, use the options in the Bluetooth software to
connect to the Q1. This initiates a voice call between your computer and the headset (so you will
need to click the BlueAnt button to answer the call). Once you have accepted the call from your
computer, your computer's audio will be routed through the Q1 headset.
