What should I do if other Bluetooth devices cannot find my computer?
❑ Make sure both devices have the Bluetooth function enabled.
❑ Make sure the WIRELESS switch is on and the WIRELESS indicator light is lit on your computer.
❑ You cannot use the Bluetooth function while your computer is in a power saving mode. Bring the computer back to Normal
mode, then turn on the WIRELESS switch.
❑ Your computer and the device may be too far apart. Wireless Bluetooth technology works best when the devices are within
33 feet / 10 meters of each other.
What should I do if I cannot find the Bluetooth device I want to communicate with?
❑ Check that the Bluetooth function of the device you want to communicate with is on. See the other device's manual for
more information.
❑ If the device you want to communicate with is already communicating with another Bluetooth device, it may not be found
or it may not be able to communicate with your computer.
❑ To allow other Bluetooth devices to communicate with your computer, follow these steps:
1 Click Start and Devices and Printers.
2 Right-click the Bluetooth device icon and click Bluetooth settings.
3 Click the Options tab and select the Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer check box.
