A:
This is caused by booting up the computer without the Bluetooth adapter plugged in. If the
adapter is plugged in after the Windows desktop appears, it will work only as a headset. The TVPSP1BK handset will no longer communicate with Skype program. In some cases, Skpye phone
features are completely disabled on the computer. This issue can be easily avoided by inserting
the Bluetooth adapter prior to powering on the PC. Alternatively, you can follow the steps below to
