How to Setup your Eee PC Bluetooth Connections
This step is provided on selected models and Operating system; I’m using Asus Eee PC 1005 HA with windows XP. For others, it can be the same way or totally different.
Bluetooth technology eliminates the need for cables for connecting Bluetooth-enabled devices. Examples of Bluetooth-enabled devices may be Notebook PC’s, Desktop PC’s, Mobile Phones and PDA’s.
How to connect to a Bluetooth-enabled device:
Before we can use the Bluetooth, at the first time we need to setup the Bluetooth configuration.
- Press <Fn>+<F2> repeatedly until Bluetooth ON or WLAN & Bluetooth ON is shown.
- Click My Bluetooth Places on the desktop or menu and follow the onscreen instructions to finish initialization. Click Next to continue.
- Name your Eee PC and select the device type. Click Next to continue.

Connecting to other Bluetooth Device:
- Open the Bluetooth menu and activate the Bluetooth “Start the Bluetooth Device”
- Click “Add the Bluetooth Device” then click Next.
