Bluetooth USB Adapter
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Bluetooth USB Adapter. This Adapter brings all the uses of Bluetooth directly to your
PC.
As you probably already know, Bluetooth technology provides consumer device connectivity, interfacing with your
cellular phone, allowing PDA synchronization, and so much more. With every new Bluetooth device, your PC will
now grant you access.
But what does all of this mean?
Bluetooth technology is always functioning, and can connect to other Bluetooth devices with Quick Connect.
Consider your Bluetooth cell-phone. When brought within range of the USB Adapter, connected to your PC, you
can upload phone directories onto your phone, dial out on your dial-up Internet connection on your cell-phone, or
grab photos if your phone has an integrated camera. Imagine synchronizing your PDA without cables, using a
Bluetooth mouse without line-of-sight Infrared lights, or printing to a Bluetooth printer.
PCs equipped with the Adapter can communicate without cumbersome cables and, since it’s USB, there’s no
need to open your PC or engage in complex configuration.
Use the instructions in this User Guide to help you connect the Adapter, set it up, and configure it to function with
your Bluetooth devices. These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the Adapter.

Chapter 3: Using the Bluetooth USB Adapter
Navigating from Your Desktop
Once you’ve installed the Bluetooth software and connected the Adapter, you will find some changes on your PC’s
desktop.
There will be a Bluetooth Icon on your desktop, from which you’ll be able to access the “My Bluetooth Places”
folder. In this folder, you will see all of the Bluetooth devices with which the Adapter may communicate.
Figure 3-1: The Bluetooth Icon
But how do those devices get in that folder? How do you configure the Adapter to work with these devices?
These, and the most important interactions with the Adapter, will be handled through the most important change
to your desktop: The Bluetooth System Tray Icon. The Bluetooth System Tray icon allows you to access all of the
functions of the Adapter with a right click of your mouse. It also tells you how the Adapter is functioning. A red
icon means the Adapter is Disabled.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting
This appendix consists of two parts: “Common Problems and Solutions” and “Frequently Asked Questions.” This
appendix provides solutions to problems that may occur during the installation and operation of the Bluetooth
USB Adapter. Read the description below to solve your problems. If you can't find an answer here, check the
Common Problems and Solutions
1. My computer does not recognize the Bluetooth USB Adapter.
The Adapter may not be properly connected to your computer. Disconnect the Adapter and reconnect it.
2. My Bluetooth devices do not work together.
Try the following:
•
•
•
Make sure a profile for each device exists for the other device. This is done from the Bluetooth Setup
Wizard as described in Chapter 3: Using the Bluetooth USB Adapter.
Make sure the device is functioning and can be detected by the Adapter. If it cannot, try detecting it again
from the Bluetooth Setup Wizard.
Make sure you are using the correct PIN code for devices that require it.
3. My Bluetooth device cannot be detected by the Adapter.
Make sure the device is on and functioning properly. Properly functioning and operating Bluetooth devices
should be detected by the Adapter on the Bluetooth Setup Wizard.
4. An “Error in pairing with device Linksys" message keeps appearing.
This means you are entering the wrong PIN number for a device. Verify the PIN number.
5. An “Unknown Port” message appears when using a Bluetooth Serial Port.
This means the port is currently in use. Please try another port.
6. I want to unpair Bluetooth devices. How is this done?
Pairing is described in Chapter 3: Using the Bluetooth USB Adapter. To unpair two devices, open My
Bluetooth Places, either from your PC’s desktop or Control Panel, then click the Entire Bluetooth
Neighborhood. Any Bluetooth device with a check mark is a paired device. Right click the Bluetooth device
you want to Unpair and select Unpair Device from the menu that appears.

Bluetooth USB Adapter
Frequently Asked Questions
What is “pairing”?
Pairing (or bonding) is a concept introduced to create a first time recognition of what devices are allowed to
communicate with each other or which devices belong together. Without an initial pairing, devices can usually
not establish a communication session. Directions for pairing devices appears in Chapter 3: Using the Bluetooth
USB Adapter.
What type of security does Bluetooth employ?
Bluetooth has built-in 128-bit encryption, which runs automatically.
What is a Bluetooth PIN code?
This is a unique password set by the user. When devices are paired or when Bluetooth-enabled devices are
accessed, this code is requested for greater security. The PIN code is case-sensitive and can be alphanumeric
(numbers or letters). The PIN code must consist of one or more characters.

Bluetooth USB Adapter
Appendix B: Bluetooth Applications and Services
The Bluetooth USB Adapter allows you to use many Bluetooth Applications and Services directly from your PC.
Here are a list of those services so you can better understand and use them with the Adapter.
Bluetooth Client Applications
Client Applications are software programs that allow your PC to use the Bluetooth services provided by other
devices.
Bluetooth Imaging. This allows the transmission of digital images with another Bluetooth device.
Human Interface Device. This allows your PC to use one or more remote Bluetooth Human Interface Devices as
input/output devices. For instance, with this application, your PC could use a Bluetooth keyboard or Bluetooth
mouse.
Printer Application. This allows your PC to use a Bluetooth printer. Once installed, the printer is used just as any
other printer would be.
Audio Gateway Application. This allows a remote Bluetooth device to use your PC's microphone or speakers as
the remote device's audio input and output devices.
Headset. This allows your PC to use a Bluetooth headset (or any other device that offers the Bluetooth headset
service) as the PC’s audio input and output device.
PIM Synchronization. This is used to synchronize your PC’s Personal Information Manager (PIM) database with
the PIM database of a remote Bluetooth device.
Fax. This allows your PC to send a fax using a Bluetooth Fax/Modem.
File Transfer. This allows your PC to perform file operations on another Bluetooth device’s Bluetooth Exchange
Folder (and the folders and files it contains).
PIM Item Transfer. This allows your PC to send and receive Personal Information Manager items to-and-from a
remote Bluetooth device.
Dial-up Network. This allows your PC to use a modem that is connected to another Bluetooth device.

Bluetooth USB Adapter
Network Access. This allows your PC to connect to a Local Area Network via a physical connection on a remote
Bluetooth device and also to connect to an ad hoc network provided by a remote Bluetooth device.
Bluetooth Serial Port. The Bluetooth Serial Port application allows your PC to establish a wireless serial
connection with a remote Bluetooth device. The applications on both PCs must be configured to send and receive
data to and from the respective communications port (COM port) assigned to the Bluetooth serial port. The
wireless serial connection may then be used by the applications as though a physical serial cable connected the
devices.
Services
Local Services are software programs your PC provides to other Bluetooth devices.
Bluetooth Imaging. This allows the transmission of digital images with another Bluetooth device.
Audio Gateway. This allows another Bluetooth device to become your PC’s audio input/output device.
Headset. This allows another Bluetooth device to use your PC's microphone and speakers for its audio input/
output.
PIM Synchronization. This allows other Bluetooth devices to synchronize a Personal Information Manager
database with your PC’s PIM database.
Fax. This allows another Bluetooth device to send a fax from your PC’s fax modem.
File Transfer. This allows other Bluetooth devices to perform file system operations to and from a configurable
restricted area on your PC.
PIM Item Transfer. This allows other Bluetooth devices to exchange Personal Information Manager data items
with your PC.
