Troubleshooting
Bluetooth Technology
Why can't other Bluetooth devices discover my computer?
❑ Make sure both devices have the Bluetooth feature enabled.
❑ If the Bluetooth indicator is off, turn on the WIRELESS switch.
❑ You cannot use the Bluetooth functionality when the computer is in a power saving mode. Return to normal mode, then
turn on the WIRELESS switch.
❑ The computer and the device may be too far apart. Wireless Bluetooth technology works best when the devices are within
32 feet (10 meters) of each other.
Why can't my computer discover other Bluetooth devices?
If the connected device is also connected to other devices, it may not appear in the Bluetooth Utility software or you may not
be able to communicate with the device.
Why can't I find the Bluetooth device with which I want to communicate?
❑ Check that the Bluetooth functionality of the device with which you want to communicate is on. See the other device's
manual for more details.
❑ If the device with which you want to communicate is already communicating with another Bluetooth device, it may not be
found or it may not be able to communicate with the computer.
❑ To allow other Bluetooth devices to communicate with the computer, right-click the Bluetooth icon on the taskbar and
select Device Properties and Security from the menu to open the Device properties and Security window. Then,
check if proper security modes are selected on the Security tab. For details on the security modes, see the help file on
the Bluetooth Utility software.
