The use of Bluetooth is very simple, but sometimes still difficult for new users. To connect two bluetooth devices together, one (or both) devices must be bluetooth enabled and set in 'discoverable' mode - detectable from other devices. The process of connecting bluetooth between two devices is also called 'pairing'.

Activate Bluetooth on computers and other devices

First, you must make sure that the bluetooth in the computer has been activated. Many computers often disable the bluetooth function to save battery power. In many new generation machines, wifi activation button usually combines bluetooth activation function, or can be activated via a good keystroke from the attached software. If your computer does not support bluetooth, you can buy a bluetooth transceiver at an affordable price, it can be easily connected via a computer USB port.

Next, activate bluetooth on the device you want to connect to the computer. Bluetooth is enabled by default on bluetooth mice or wireless headsets, but is disabled in smartphones or tablets for energy reasons. How to activate it depends on the device you have - for example, you can find the option to activate bluetooth on the Setting screen of Android devices.

Turn on Discoverable mode for your computer or device

When the device's bluetooth is turned on, they still cannot connect to each other. In order for the devices to recognize each other, they must be set to 'discoverable' mode - in this mode, the devices will signal to other devices that can be detected. Usually this mode is disabled for security purposes - it is only activated when it needs to connect to other devices.

You only need to leave Discoverable mode in either device - either the computer or the device to connect is enough.

To turn on discoverable mode on a Windows 7-based computer, left-click Start , select Devices and Printers on the right side of the Start menu. Right-click on your computer on the list and select Bluetooth settings .
