Bluetooth Network
Setting up your Bluetooth Connection
Bluetooth-equipped systems will display the Bluetooth icon in the system tray. If you have Bluetooth,
double-click on the Bluetooth icon. Depending on the Bluetooth software on your computer you may be
required to follow a number of steps that the Bluetooth software will guide you through in order to
complete your Bluetooth setup. This procedure will take approximately 5 minutes or less. Upon
completion your system will be ready to establish and use Bluetooth connections. If after double-clicking
the Bluetooth icon you are not prompted by the Bluetooth software to follow a series of steps, then your
Bluetooth system is already fully configured and ready to use.
Connecting to a Bluetooth Network
Systems that are equipped with a Bluetooth internal card may connect to other Bluetooth devices such
as keyboards and mice, stereo headsets, cameras, PDAs, and printers. This requires a few simple steps to
establish a connection to the device. These steps vary depending on the Bluetooth software on your
computer. For details on establishing Bluetooth connections please open your Bluetooth software by
double-clicking on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray. Select Help on the main menu for a detailed
description of how to use your Bluetooth internal networking card.
