installation process. The installation process may fail if the computer is running other
application programs during the installation of Blue Manager.

your CD-ROM. Double click on the Blue Manager icon and then the Setup icon to

Blue Manager files into a newly created
Programs directory. Under Windows 2000/XP, the modems with Bluetooth DUN COM

port, Bluetooth LAN COM port Bluetooth Fax COM port and Bluetooth Serial COM port
will be added automatically during the installation; after Blue Manager’s being installed,
there are two connections will be created: “Bluetooth Dial-up Connection” and
“Bluetooth LAN connection Client”.

restart your computer. Click yes to complete installation of Blue Manager. Once the
computer has restarted, take out the Blue Manager installation disk from your CD-ROM.
