Bluetooth Devices
Select models only
Some models of the HP TouchSmart PC are Bluetooth-enabled, so that you can connect all kinds of

In a PAN, each device communicates directly with the other devices; the devices must be relatively close
together.
To enable a Bluetooth device:
1
Refer to your Bluetooth device’s instructions to make it “discoverable” (it sends out a radio signal).
2
Click the
Start
button,
Control Panel

device and follow onscreen instructions.
