For the Windows 7 operating system, check the Network Name (SSID) and your encryption information. Use
the Access Connections program to verify this case-sensitive information.

A wireless WAN problem

Problem: A message is displayed indicating that an unauthorized WAN card is installed.

Solution: The WAN card is not supported on this computer. Remove the WAN card.

Note: Some models do not have a wireless WAN card.

Bluetooth problems

Note: Check your connection anytime and make sure that no other Bluetooth-enabled device is searching for
the device to which you want to connect. Simultaneous searching is not allowed in the Bluetooth connection.

Problem: Sound does not come from the Bluetooth headset/headphones but comes from the local

speaker even though the Bluetooth headset/headphones is connected using a Headset profile or AV
profile.

Solution: Do the following:

1. Exit the application that uses the sound device (for example, Windows Media Player).

2. Open Control Panel and click Hardware and Sound Sound Playback.

3. If you are using a Headset profile, select Bluetooth Hands-free Audio and click the Set Default

button. If you are using an AV profile, select Stereo Audio and click the Set Default button.

4. Click OK to close the Sound window.

Problem: PIM items sent from the Windows 7 operating systems cannot be received correctly into the

address book of any other Bluetooth-enabled device.

Solution: The Windows 7 operating system sends PIM items in XML format, but most Bluetooth-enabled
devices handle PIM items in vCard format. If another Bluetooth-enabled device can receive a file through
Bluetooth, a PIM item sent from the Windows 7 might be saved as a file with the extension .contact.

Problems with the keyboard and other pointing devices

The following are the most common problems with keyboards and other pointing devices.

Properties window.
