Using the Bluetooth connection
Bluetooth can connect devices a short distance from one another, and is commonly used for connecting
peripheral devices to a computer, transferring data between hand-held devices and a personal computer, or
remotely controlling and communicating with devices such as mobile phones.
Depending on the model, your computer might support the Bluetooth feature. To transfer data through
the Bluetooth feature, do the following:
1. Ensure that the Bluetooth feature is enabled. If you are using the Windows 8 operating system, the
integrated Bluetooth feature is enabled by default. If you are using the Windows 7 operating system, to
enable the Bluetooth feature, press F8 then follow the instructions on the screen.
2. Right-click the data that you want to send.
3. Select Send To ➙ Bluetooth Devices.
4. Select a Bluetooth device, and then follow the instructions on the screen.
Note: If you use the wireless feature (the 802.11 standards) of your computer simultaneously with a
Bluetooth option, the data transmission speed can be delayed and the performance of the wireless feature
can be degraded.
For more information, refer to the Windows help information system and the Bluetooth help information
