If the device is not discovered…
If the Bluetooth device is not detected after multiple attempts, try the following:
• Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled (page 45).
• Ensure that the device you are adding is discoverable. See the manufacturer’s
documentation for more information.
• Ensure that the Bluetooth device has good batteries.
• For keyboards, mice, and printers, ensure that you select My device is set up and ready
to be found in the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard.
• For two computers transferring files, both computers must turn on the device transfer
wizard, although only the receiving computer needs to be discoverable. Tap the
Bluetooth icon and then Send a file or Receive a file. When you do this, discovery is
automatically turned on for the receiving computer.
• Check which Bluetooth devices are connected. In the notification area, tap the
Bluetooth icon and select Open Bluetooth Settings. In the Devices window, you will
see the Bluetooth devices that are currently connected.
If the system still cannot detect the Bluetooth device, contact the device manufacturer for
more information.
