Chapter 2. Learning the basics
Connecting a universal serial bus (USB) device
Your computer comes with four USB ports compatible with USB devices.
Connecting a Bluetooth device (on select models)
If your computer has an integrated Bluetooth adapter card, it can connect to
and transfer data wirelessly to other Bluetooth enabled devices, such as
notebook computers, PDAs and cell phones. You can transfer data between
these devices without cables and up to 10 meters range in open space.
Enabling Bluetooth communications on your computer
Press Fn + F5 to make configuration.
Note: When using a high power consumption USB device such as USB ODD, use the
external device’s power adapter. Otherwise, the device may not be recognized, and
system shut down may result.
Note: The actual maximum range may vary due to interference and transmission barriers.
To get the best possible connection speed, place the device as near your computer as
possible.
Note:
• When you do not need to use the Bluetooth function, turn it off to save battery power.
• You need to pair the Bluetooth enabled device with your computer before you can transfer
data between them. Read the documentation supplied with the Bluetooth enabled device
for details on how to pair the device with your computer.
