INTRODUCTION
The Bluetooth® wireless technology provides short-range wireless communications that replace the
physical cable connections that traditionally link electronic devices.
• Network access points
• Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA, etc.)
• Imaging devices (printer, camera)
• Audio devices (headset, speakers)
Bluetooth wireless technology also enables communication between the above devices and
Bluetooth enabled phones (example: cellular, cordless, smart phones).
The Bluetooth for Windows software consists of the following components:
• Microsoft® Windows® Explorer Extensions - provides access to Bluetooth devices in the
immediate 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.
• BTTray Security Manager - controls and manages Bluetooth security levels. Enables user to
grant or deny 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 together correctly. The stack server has a
built-in Security Manager 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 services or to establish
connections to 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 connection to that service.
During this process, a shortcut to the service is created in My Bluetooth Places, which can
be used for subsequent connections.
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.
• Access the Quick Connect option—right-click the Bluetooth icon, select Quick Connect, and

about Bluetooth status.
Table 1 : Bluetooth Icon
DEVICE AND SERVICE ICONS
Bluetooth device and service icons provide at-a-glance feedback about a device or service
status by changing their appearance.
Device Icons
Devices are physical things, such as computers, cameras, headsets, etc. Devices can be
represented by icons in My Bluetooth Places.
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 connected to this computer are represented by an icon with a
green tint and/ or a small butting arrows box added to them ( ). For example, the icon to
the right represents 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 differences between the device icons used by Windows 9x, ME, and 2000, and
those 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 this computer is connected 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.
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.
Note: A service may be unavailable because it (or the required hardware) is in use, or
because 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.

CREATE A CONNECTION FROM THE BLUETOOTH ICON IN THE SYSTEM
TRAY
In the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar, right-click the Bluetooth icon, select Quick
Connect and then select the desired Bluetooth service.
If this computer has created a connection to the desired type of service in the past, the options
on the shortcut menu are:
• The name(s) of any device(s) with which prior connections to this type of service have been
established. Select a name from the list to re-establish the connection.
• Other Devices - select this option to search for additional devices that potentially provide the
desired service, select a device from the list, and then click Connect.
If this computer has never created a connection to this type of service, the only option on the
shortcut menu is Find Devices. Select this option to search for devices that potentially provide
the desired service, select a device from the list, and then click Connect.
CREATE A CONNECTION USING THE BLUETOOTH SETUP WIZARD
To open the setup wizard:
• From the Notification area, at the far right of the taskbar - right-click the Bluetooth icon and
select Bluetooth Setup Wizard.
or
• From Windows Explorer, select My Bluetooth Places, and then from the Bluetooth menu,
select Bluetooth Setup Wizard.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: Depending on the installed operating system and how Windows Explorer is
configured, there may also be double-click and/or right-click options available to access
the Bluetooth setup wizard.
CREATE A CONNECTION FROM ENTIRE BLUETOOTH NEIGHBORHOOD
1.From Windows Explorer, in the Folders pane, select My Bluetooth Places, and then select
Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood.
2.In the right pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a device name, and then select Discover
Available Services.
3. Basic Operations
10
If a prior service discovery was performed on the selected device, the services that were found will
be listed in the device’s shortcut menu.
If the selected device has added or reconfigured a service, or if the desired service is not an option
in the shortcut menu, select the Discover Available Services option to update the list of services
offered by the device.
FIND BLUETOOTH DEVICES
Search for Devices looks for Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and displays the devices that it finds
in My Bluetooth Places.
To start a search for devices, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, select Entire Bluetooth
Neighborhood, and then, from the Bluetooth menu, select Search for Devices.
Note: The Bluetooth menu is only visible when My Bluetooth Places is active.
Periodic Search for Devices
Bluetooth can be configured to search automatically for devices on a regular basis (Bluetooth
Configuration Panel > Discovery tab).
One of the advantages of Bluetooth is the mobility that the wireless connections allow. However,
mobility means that devices may move in or out of connection range during the time between
the automatic updates performed by Bluetooth. To be certain that the displayed list of devices in
the neighborhood is current, or if automatic periodic inquiry is not enabled, force an update of
the device list using the technique described in Search for Devices, above.
Some devices within connection range may not show up in the list of devices found because:
• The device is configured to report only specific types or classes of devices (Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Discovery tab, on your device).
• The unlisted device is configured to be nondiscoverable. Refer to the unlisted device’s
documentation for assistance in making that device discoverable.
Note: If you enable the periodic search for devices feature you may experience some
performance degradation while the search is in process, depending on the type of system
you have.
Find A Service
The process of determining the services that a device provides is called Service Discovery.
To initiate a Service Discovery, in My Bluetooth Places, right-click a device name and then, from
the shortcut menu, select Discover Available Services.
Bluetooth services are those things that this computer can do for remote Bluetooth devices. For
example, if this computer allows a remote Bluetooth device to send a fax using a fax modem
that is physically attached to this computer, then this computer is providing the Bluetooth fax
service.
