Bluetooth is a type
of short range wireless technology that allows various devices to
"pair" with one another to share data and files. Many computers come
equipped with Bluetooth technology which allow capable devices to connect
without using up a USB port on the computer.
This is especially useful
when dealing with laptops that may only have 1 or 3 USB ports available. Items
ranging from smartphones and headsets to computer mice and external hard
drives may have Bluetooth functionality.
Locate the
"Bluetooth" icon on your computer screen. For Macs, the icon will be
in the top right of the screen. For Windows, the icon will be in the lower
right of the screen. Note that you may need to click the "arrow" icon
next to the small icons on the right side of the Windows "Start" bar
to expose the "Bluetooth icon." View an example of a Bluetooth icon
in the second link at the end of this article.

Click on the
"Bluetooth" icon and select either "Set to Discoverable" or
"Turn on Bluetooth." If you do not see either of these selections,
choose "Enable." You may also see something such as "Activate
Bluetooth" or "Discoverable" which are both acceptable
selections in this case. You may need to right-click the icon to bring up these
options if you are using a Windows based computer.
Wait for the icon to change
color. For Macs the icon will become darker and for Windows systems the icon
will become blue. Once this occurs, other nearby Bluetooth devices ranging from
computer mice to smart phones will be able to connect via Bluetooth to the
computer.
When prompted to do so, enter
a 4 digit "PIN" which will serve as the unique password for the
current connection between the computer and a Bluetooth device. Note that this
PIN usage is only for devices that can transfer files such as a smart phone or
other computer; devices such as a Bluetooth headset only require you to press
their power button.
Click on the
"Bluetooth" icon and select "Turn off Bluetooth" or
"Disable" when not in use to conserve laptop battery life.
If a device is not pairing
with the computer ensure that it's Bluetooth is enabled. For devices with a
user interface, go into the "Settings" menu and look for
"Bluetooth" and change it to "ON" or "Enabled."
For simpler devices, hold down the power or Bluetooth button until the pairing
is confirmed on your laptop.
