Introduction

Bluetooth USB Adapter is a Bluetooth enabler, that enables your desktop or notebook computer to connect wirelessly to any other Bluetooth enabled computers and devices. It allows a working range of up to 10 meters (33 feet) with a 723 Kbps data rate transmission, and complies with Bluetooth 1.2 and USB 1.1 specifications. Bluetooth USB Adapter is an ideal solution for home and mobile networking needs. It is easy to install and use for wireless connectivity to such as cellular phones, PDAs, printers, computers, keyboards, mice etc.

Pairing Guide

What's pairing?

Pairing is a process of associating Bluetooth devices with each other. It allows avoiding entering access information every time when a connection is requested. Bluetooth devices need to be paired with each other before attempting a connection at first time.

Paired devices will remain paired, even if:

1. One of the devices is un-powered.
2. A service connection is interrupted or stopped.
3. One or both devices are rebooted.

Pass Key

Paired devices share a unique Pass Key (also referred to as Link Key), by which they authenticate with each other when connecting. The Pass Key can be alphanumeric, numbers, or letters, and must consist of one or up to 16 characters.

How to pair devices?

Automatically -- If a passkey is required before connection, devices will pair automatically the first time they connect (a passkey must be successfully exchanged).

Manually -- In the main window of BlueSoleil, right click a device, select Pair Device from the popup menu, and then input a same passkey on both sides.
