11. To permanently unpair a Bluetooth module, go back to the Blueman window, right-

click on the device, and select “Remove...“. You should not have to do this unless
you wish to pair the Bluetooth module with a different host.

Windows Bluetooth Keyboard Setup

1. Right-click the Bluetooth icon in the Windows notification area (at lower right.)

2. If you have no Bluetooth icon, go to Start / [Control Panel] / Devices and Printers

3. Select Add a Device

4. Wait for the device to appear. The name will probably be RNBT-nnnn, where nnnn

is the last 4 digits of the module’s Bluetooth MAC address.

5. Right-click the device and select Properties. Wait for the list of Bluetooth services to

appear. Check Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID) and press OK. (NOTE: This
method tends to be more reliable than selecting the device and pressing Next. That
method seems to be hard-coded to a routine that always asks you to enter a code on
the peripheral device. The RN-42 doesn’t really support this.)

6. Wait for drivers to install.

7. Dismiss the success message, and you should see a request to connect. A

Bluetooth device is trying to connect. Click to allow this. Click on this
notification.

8. Click Next in the Finish connection to this device dialog that appears.
