Device Icons
Devices are physical things, such as computers, cameras, headsets, etc. Devices can be
represented by icons in My Bluetooth Places.
Device icons have three states:
• Normal - this unadorned icon indicates the presence of a device in the vicinity. Each type of
device is represented by a different icon. For example, the icon to the right represents a
desktop computer in a normal state.
• Connected - devices that are connected to this computer are represented by an icon with a
green tint and/ or a small butting arrows box added to them ( ). For example, the icon to
the right represents a desktop computer that is connected via Bluetooth to this computer.
• Paired - devices that are paired with this computer are represented by a normal icon with a
small check box added to it ( ). For example, the icon to the right represents a desktop
computer that is paired with this computer.
There are some differences between the device icons used by Windows 9x, ME, and 2000, and
those used by Windows XP. For the device icons used by your system, see Table 2 or Table 3.
