Using Bluetooth Devices
Select models only
Some models of the HP TouchSmart PC are Bluetooth-enabled, so that you can connect all kinds of
Bluetooth-enabled wireless devices. Bluetooth devices create a personal area network (PAN), which
connects other Bluetooth devices, such as computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras.
In a PAN, each device communicates directly with the other devices, and the devices must be relatively
close together.
To enable a Bluetooth device:
1 Refer to your Bluetooth device’s instructions to make it “discoverable” (sends out a radio signal).
2 Click the Windows Vista start button , Control Panel, and then click Hardware and
Sound. Click Bluetooth Devices. Click Add. Follow onscreen instructions.
3 If your Bluetooth device is a printer, click the Windows Vista start button , Control Panel,
and then click Hardware and Sound. Click Printers. Click Add a printer.

Press the Ambient Light button on the left side of the computer to turn the Ambient Light on.
Continue pressing the button to cycle through low intensity, medium intensity, high intensity, off,
