Headset Service
The Bluetooth Headset Service allows this computer to provide audio input/output for remote Bluetooth
devices.
Example: if the remote device is a Bluetooth telephone, this computer’s microphone and speakers can be
used as speakerphone input and output for that device.
Hardware Requirements
•
This computer must have a sound card, microphone, and speakers installed.
•
The Bluetooth hardware on this computer and on the remote device must support audio.
Configure the Headset Service
•
From the Notification area, at the far right of the taskbar, right-click the Bluetooth icon, select Advanced
Configuration > Local Services, and then double-click the Headset service.
•
Set the common configuration properties of the service, and then click OK.
Usage Example with a Bluetooth Telephone
From the Bluetooth phone, search for devices that offer the Headset Service, select the Headset Service on
this computer, and then select Connect.
If the Headset Service has Secure Connection enabled, a PIN code and Authorization will be required to
complete the connection.
When the phone successfully connects to the Headset Service:
•
In the Notification area, at the far right of the taskbar, the Bluetooth icon will be a blue field with a green
insert (if another Bluetooth connection existed before this connection was established, the icon would
have already been this color).
•
A notification balloon will appear briefly above the Bluetooth icon with a message similar to:
Bluetooth Connection Successful
Bluetooth device My Bluetooth Cell Phone is connected to the Headset service on this computer
The Headset Service now monitors the phone and displays a notification balloon over the Bluetooth icon in the
Notification area, at the far right of the taskbar when an incoming call is detected. Click the balloon to
acknowledge the notification, and then, in the Incoming Call dialog box, click the Accept button to accept the
call.
The audio signal from the phone is re-routed to the audio output device (speakers or earphones) on the
computer, and the microphone on the computer provides the audio input for the phone.
To reject the incoming call, when the Incoming Call dialog box is displayed, click the Reject button.
Note: Individual Bluetooth phone manufacturers may use different terminology to describe the
Headset Service, but the word audio and/or headset should be in the description - refer to the
documentation included with the Bluetooth phone for assistance.
