Enable Bluetooth Services On My Pc

Bluetooth can be used to link a PC and devices such as headsets.


Bluetooth is short-range wireless technology used to transfer data between electronic devices. Such devices include PCs, mobile phones, headsets, digital cameras and printers. It can eliminate the need for wires in certain connections, meaning devices can be connected to a PC quickly and easily to transfer information. This can include photos, music and voice communications for making Web phone calls.


Instructions


1. Check that your computer has a Bluetooth adapter. Open the "Start" menu and click on the "Control Panel" icon. Click on "Performance and Maintenance," followed by "System." In the system properties window, click on the "Hardware" tab. Click on "Device Manager" and expand the "Bluetooth Devices" icon to list the Bluetooth capability. One device listed will indicate that your PC has Bluetooth capability.


2. Turn on the Bluetooth adapter. On many notebooks and PCs it is indicated on the outside of the computer or via a function key on the keyboard displaying the Bluetooth or wireless logo.


3. Right-click on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray on the right hand side of the task bar. Select "Start the Bluetooth Device" from the pop-up menu.


4. Test the Bluetooth connection. Right click on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray and select "Quick Connect" for devices that are already added, or "Add a Bluetooth Device" to start the Bluetooth setup wizard. Once paired, your PC can now interact with Bluetooth devices.
