are certain situations where this may not be advisable. You may, for example, want
to use your computer’s existing Bluetooth support rather than the Logitech
wireless hub. In such cases, a different approach is required.

This guide explains how you check whether your computer has existing Bluetooth
support, and recommends the software you should install and the hardware you
should use with your setup.

We strongly recommend that you read this guide before installing the SetPoint
software on your computer.

Installing/Uninstalling Logitech desktop for Bluetooth on my computer

Summary

I have a desktop computer without Bluetooth®. What should I do?

Follow the instructions provided in the Quick Start Guide supplied with your
Logitech device to install it and enjoy all of its features.

I have purchased a Bluetooth USB dongle for my
computer. Can I use it?

We recommend that you remove your dongle, uninstall the existing Bluetooth
stack, and follow the instructions provided in the Quick Start Guide supplied with
your Logitech device. All of the features offered by your Logitech devices are then
available to you. See Disabling your computer’s existing Bluetooth support and

using just your Logitech wireless hub, page 12 for further details.

I have a laptop with Bluetooth built-in. What is the best approach?

You should not have two different Bluetooth stacks and antenna running on the
same computer.

If the Logitech installer detects an existing Bluetooth stack, it does not install the
stack included in the SetPoint software.

In this case, the Logitech wireless hub acts as an access point for the Logitech
mouse, keyboard and MediaPad
wireless hub does not provide an access point for other Bluetooth

To fully enable the Logitech wireless hub and enjoy all of its features, we
recommend that you install it on a computer without another Bluetooth stack
present.
