Bluetooth USB Adapter User Guide
For example, the HID Application allows this computer to use a Bluetooth keyboard
and a Bluetooth mouse.
Create a Bluetooth HID connection
NOTE
: Some HIDs have multiple modes. Before establishing a connection, be sure
the HID is in the appropriate mode. For example, in the case of an HID that can func-
tion as both a mouse and a laser pointer, be sure the mode switch is set to “Mouse”
before attempting to connect.
Open a connection to a Bluetooth Human Interface Device using one of these tech-
niques:
‧
From My Bluetooth Places
‧
Using the Bluetooth Setup Wizard
Once an HID connection is established, that connection will persist. If the computer is
shut down, when the computer is turned on again the connection will re-establish
automatically.
NOTE
: HIDs usually have a button, which is sometimes difficult to find, that must be
pressed before other Bluetooth devices can locate the HID. Even after the button is
pressed, the HID can be discovered only for a limited time, and then the button must
be pressed again. The time period can be as short as 30 seconds or as long as 180
seconds. Read the documentation that accompanies the HID before you attempt to
connect to the device.
Close an HID connection
Under normal circumstances, there is no reason to close an HID connection; once
established the connection is maintained automatically, even during the power off and
power on processes.
If, for some reason, the connection must be closed: from My Bluetooth Places, right-
click the service name, and from the shortcut menu, select Disable.
When an HID connection is closed manually by the operator, the connection’s “persis-
tence” is broken. The connection must be re-established manually, after which the
connection will again persist until broken manually.
Configure
No configuration is necessary.
