Welcome
Bluetooth USB Adapter
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Bluetooth USB Adapter. This Adapter brings all the uses of Bluetooth directly to your
PC.
As you probably already know, Bluetooth technology provides consumer device connectivity, interfacing with your
cellular phone, allowing PDA synchronization, and so much more. With every new Bluetooth device, your PC will
now grant you access.
But what does all of this mean?
Bluetooth technology is always functioning, and can connect to other Bluetooth devices with Quick Connect.
Consider your Bluetooth cell-phone. When brought within range of the USB Adapter, connected to your PC, you
can upload phone directories onto your phone, dial out on your dial-up Internet connection on your cell-phone, or
grab photos if your phone has an integrated camera. Imagine synchronizing your PDA without cables, using a
Bluetooth mouse without line-of-sight Infrared lights, or printing to a Bluetooth printer.
PCs equipped with the Adapter can communicate without cumbersome cables and, since it’s USB, there’s no
need to open your PC or engage in complex configuration.
Use the instructions in this User Guide to help you connect the Adapter, set it up, and configure it to function with
your Bluetooth devices. These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the Adapter.

used for replacing cables in many
consumer-electronics devices.
