What Way to Connect and Transfer Information Through Bluetooth Wireless Technology

Bluetooth is a way to connect and transfer information between things like cell phones, laptops and PCs, printers, digital cameras, and video game consoles using radio frequencies securely.

According to the official Bluetooth site, “Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. The key features of Bluetooth technology are robustness, low power, and low cost. The Bluetooth specification defines a uniform structure for a wide range of devices to connect and communicate with each other.”

Connecting Bluetooth Devices to a Computer:

Go to your Hardware section on your computer and access the Bluetooth feature. Many new computers come with this, so just open it up so that you can turn it on and have it search for a signal. Once you’ve turned on your computer’s Bluetooth, take your device–such as a wireless keyboard or mouse–and press the connect button on it. This is found in different places, but the button will make the light flash.

While the light is flashing, it is connecting to the computer. When it finishes connecting, a little icon will appear at the bottom saying that there is this connection. Begin using the mouse or keyboard. Turn off the computer when done and then turn it back on. The connection should automatically be made so long as both devices have their Bluetooth turned on.

Connecting Bluetooth Devices to a Phone:

The first step is to go into your phone and find the Bluetooth feature. For different phones this is found in different areas. Typically, though, it is found in the Settings and Tools section. It’ll be called “Bluetooth Menu” on many phones. Click the “Turn Bluetooth On” feature and that’ll turn on the Bluetooth antennae. It is important to note that when Bluetooth is on, it drains the battery faster than if it is off.

Turn on your headset and hold the connect button. If the cell phone picks up on it, click connect. This will connect the headset to the phone. Then, you can use the headset with ease.
