Use Software to Establish a Connection to Your Headset
To use a Bluetooth audio headset for telephone calls, you typically need only to add the device to your
computer (see
-+'
) and turn it on. The connection stops when you turn the
device off and automatically restarts when you turn it on again.
If you turn on a headset that has been added to your computer and it does not automatically make a
connection, you can start the connection using software.
