Use Software to Establish a Connection to Your Headset
To use a Bluetooth audio headset for telephone calls, you typically need only to add the device to your
computer (see
Add a Bluetooth Enabled Device ) and turn it on. The connection stops when you turn the
device off and automatically restarts when you turn it on again.
If you turn on a headset that has been added to your computer and it does not automatically make a
connection, you can start the connection using software.
1.
Double-click the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar notification area. Double-click the icon for the audio
headset, or right-click the icon and select Control.
2. Under Headset Operations\ Headset and Speakerphone, click the Connect button.
You can now use your Bluetooth audio headset to place or receive a phone call using an Internet
telephony service or during an voice-enabled instant messaging session.
Use a Bluetooth Audio Headset with Skype
You can use Skype and other Internet telephony applications with your Bluetooth audio headset.
Before you can use your Bluetooth headset with Skype, you must set up Skype to allow the Bluetooth
program to use Skype. Once configured, Skype automatically recognizes your headset, adjusts Audio
In and Audio Out settings to use a Bluetooth Hands-free Audio device, and routes calls to your
headset.
To set up Skype to allow the Bluetooth program to use Skype:
1. Open Skype.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
3. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Advanced Settings.
