INTRODUCTION
The Bluetooth® wireless technology provides short-range wireless communications that replace the physical
cable conne c tions that traditionally link electronic devices.
•Network access points
•Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA, etc.)
•Imaging devices (printer, camera)
•Audio de v ic es (hea ds et, spe akers)
Bluetooth wireless technology also enables communi cation between the above devices and Bluetoothenabled phones (example: cellular, cordless, smart phones).
The Bluetooth for Windows software consists of the following components:
®
•Microsoft
vicinity using Windows Explorer.
•My Bluetooth Places - graphical user interface (GUI) that provides access to Bluetooth devices in the
immediate vicinity. Also provides access to configure the local devices and access to perform other
Bluetooth tasks.
•BTTra y Secu rity Ma nag er - co ntrols and manages Bluetooth security levels. Enables user to g ra nt or d eny
access and to filter what can be accessed on a Bluetooth device.
•Bluetooth for Windows Configuration Panel - configures Bluetooth for Windows (BTW) software using
Windows Control Panel.
•Stack Server - provides an interface for the operating system to control Bluetooth devices and to ensure
that Bluetooth connections operate t ogether cor rectly. The stack server has a built-in Secur ity Mana ger
that protects the Bluetooth device from unauthorized access.
•Bluetooth Setup wizard - facilitates the configuration and modification of Bluetooth environment. The
wizard can be used to configure or change local ser vices or to establish connections t o remote devices
based on service type or device type.
•Quick Connect - facilitates fast connections based on service type. Enables user to quickly find devices
that support a particular service and establish a conn ection to that service. During thi s process , a sho rtcut
to the service is created in My Bluetooth Places, which can be used for subsequent connections.
Windows® Explorer Extensions - provides access to Bluetooth devices in the immediate
BLUETOOTH TRAY
The Bluetooth tray resides in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar. The Bluetooth tray provides
fast access to most Bluetooth operations.
From the Bluetooth tray the user can:
•Access My Bluetooth Places—double-click the Bluetooth icon, or right-click the Bluetooth icon and then
select Explore My Bluetooth Places.
•Access the Bluetooth Setup Wizard. This wizard enables the user to:
•Configure how this computer accesses a service on another Bluetooth device
•Locate remote Bluetooth devices
•Configure the way that this computer provides services to remote Bluetooth devices
•Set the name and type of this Bluetooth device, e.g., John's PC and Desktop.
•Access the Bluetooth Configuration Panel—right-click the Bluetooth icon, and then select Advanced
Configuration.

Device icons have three states:
•Normal - this unadorned icon indicates the presence of a device in the vicinity. Each type of device is
represented by a different icon. For example, the icon to the right represents a desktop computer in a
normal state.
•Connected - devices that are co nn ected to this computer a re repre se nte d by an icon with a g r ee n t int an d/
or a small butt ing arrow s box added t o them (). For example, the ico n to the righ t repres ents a
desktop computer that is connected via Bluetooth to this computer.
•Paired - devices that are paired with this computer are represented by a normal icon with a small check
box added to it (). For example, the icon to the right represents a desktop computer that is paired with
this computer.
There are some differen ces betw een the dev ice icons us ed by Windows 9x, ME, and 20 00, and thos e used by
Windows XP. For the device icons used by your system, see Table 2 or Table 3.

Service Icons
Services are what a Bluetooth device can do for other Bluetooth devices, such as provide access to a local
area network, or the ability to send a fax.
Some devices, such as headsets or network access points, may provide only a single service. Others, such
as desktop and laptop computers, can potentially provide all of the Bluetooth services.
Single-service devices often use virtually the same icon for the service as that used for the device. For
example, the headset service icon is identical to the headset device icon.
Multiservice devices use a different icon for each service that they provide.
Service icons have three states:
•Normal - this type of unadorned icon indicates that a specific service is potentially available from the
selected device. For example, the icon to the right indicates that the Bluetooth serial port service may be
available.
•Connected - this type of icon indicates that t his computer is c onnected to this service. The icon has a
green tint and/or a small butting arrows box added to it (). For example, the icon to the right indicates
that this computer is connected to the Bluetooth serial port service of the remote device.
•Not Available - this type icon indicates that the service that it represents is not available. Services that are
not available are represented by a normal icon with a small X box added to it (). For example, the icon
to the right indicates that the Bluetooth serial port service is not currently available.
Note: A service may be unavail abl e bec au se it (or the required hardware) is in use, or becau se the
required hardware is not installed. Example: if the fax modem is busy, or not installed, then the fax
service will be unavailable, even though Bluetooth supports that service.
There are some differences between the service icons used by Windows 9x, ME, and 2000, and those used
by Windows XP. For the service icons used by your system, see Table 4 or Table 5.
