them in connection with a Samsung
computer supporting Bluetooth, you

must check if the Bluetooth function of

the device to connect to is turned on.

For the procedures on turning on the

Bluetooth function of a device, refer to
the relevant device manual.

 The services provided by Bluetooth

devices may vary depending on their
capabilities. For the services provided
by the Bluetooth device, refer to the
device manual.
