▲ Open a connection to a Bluetooth Human Interface Device using one of these
techniques:
• From My Bluetooth Places
• Using the Bluetooth Setup Wizard
• Once a HID connection is established, that connection will persist. If the computer
is shut down, when the computer is turned on again the connection will reestablish
automatically.
TIP: 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.
