Installing Your External Bluetooth USB Device and Virtual COM Ports
If you are accessing this manual as part of the installation of your Bluetooth USB device, skip to step 3 below.
1 With the computer on and Windows 98 SE, Me, or 2000 running, insert the
Bluetooth Installation
CD
into the CD-ROM drive. The auto-start feature starts the installation. If auto-start is disabled on
your computer, click
Start>Run
and type
d:\setup.exe
(where d: is your CD-ROM drive). The
3Com Wireless Installer menu appears.
2 Select
Step 1: Install Bluetooth Hardware
from the menu.
3 Attach the USB device to the USB port on your computer (see the first illustration below). Note that
the connector end twists to fit either a horizontal or a vertical port. If you are connecting to the
USB port on a desktop computer, use the cable (see the second illustration below) to correctly
position the antenna for the best coverage. You are prompted to “Add new Hardware.”
After attaching the USB device, if auto-start is enabled and nothing happens within five seconds, restart your
computer and log in to Windows. The installation process will begin when the computer restarts.
4 Respond to the prompts to add the new hardware.
You may be prompted for the location of drivers on the Bluetooth Installation CD. If so, use the following
paths on your Bluetooth Installation CD, where D: is your CD-ROM drive:
Windows 2000 — d:\drivers.W2K
Windows 98 SE and Windows Me — d:\drivers.W98
During the installation process, you may receive prompts for your Windows operating system installation CD.
Insert the CD and indicate the correct path.
5 Your computer will go through a brief installation process during which it will display several
windows indicating what is currently installing.
This takes several minutes
.
6 Restart the computer whenever you are prompted.

3Com Wireless Installer
, select Step 2:

Connection Manager, which allows your wireless Bluetooth device to communicate with other
Bluetooth devices.
