Using your VAIO computer
Troubleshooting Bluetooth
I cannot use the Bluetooth function
❑
If the Bluetooth LED is off, turn on the Wireless switch.
❑
You cannot use the Bluetooth function when the computer is in a power saving mode. Return to normal mode, then turn on the
Wireless switch located on your notebook.
❑
If the Wireless switch is ON and you have selected the Wireless LAN option, click on the
Wireless Switch
icon in the system
tray and select
Bluetooth
.
The connected device does not appear in the Remote Bluetooth Device List
If the connected device is also connected to other devices, it may not appear in your
Remote Bluetooth Device Panel
or you may
not be able to communicate with the device.
I cannot find the Bluetooth device with which I want to communicate
❑
Check that the Bluetooth function of the device with which you want to communicate is on. See the other device’s manual for
more details.
❑
If the device with which you want to communicate is already communicating with another Bluetooth device, it may not be found
or it may not be able to communicate with your notebook.
The data transfer speed is slow
The data transfer speed depends on the obstacles and/or the distance between the two devices, but also on the radio wave quality,
the operating system or the software used. Try to move your notebook or try to place the two devices closer.
I cannot communicate with the other device although the distance between both devices is within 10 metres
❑
The data transfer distance can be shorter than 10 metres depending on existing obstacles between the two devices, on radio
wave quality, on the operating system or the software used. Try to move your notebook or to place both devices closer.
