36 - Using a Bluetooth connection
USING A BLUETOOTH CONNECTION
Bluetooth is a technology enabling you to transfer data wirelessly over
short distances between many different types of devices. Bluetooth-
enabled devices include computers, cell phones, tablets, wireless
headsets, and keyboards.
To use Bluetooth, you must ensure the following:
1. Bluetooth is enabled on both devices.
2. Your devices are "paired" (or connected).
Enabling and disabling Bluetooth
The Bluetooth adapter must be enabled on both devices. For your
computer, this may be an external switch, a software setting, or a
separate Bluetooth dongle plugged into the computer’s USB port (if no
internal Bluetooth adapter is available).
Enable Bluetooth and add a device
Every new device must first be "paired" with your computer’s
Bluetooth adapter. This means it must first be authenticated for
security purposes. You only need to pair once. After that, simply
turning on the Bluetooth adapter of both devices will connect them.
Bluetooth on your computer is disabled by default. To enable your
computer’s Bluetooth adapter, do the following:
1. Open the Charms and select Settings > Change PC Settings > PC
and devices > Bluetooth, or press the Windows key
+ <W> and
then type ’Wireless’;
in the results, click on Bluetooth settings.
2. Click the toggle next to Bluetooth to enable/disable it.
3. Your computer will automatically start searching for devices, as well
as make itself visible to other devices.
