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.
  • To decide the Bluetooth services this device offers, click Next to continue.
  • Select the service you would like to offer from the list and click Next to continue.
  • Click Next to start setting up the Bluetooth connection to other devices.

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.
  • Then “Select a device”. Remote devices must be discoverable mode for this computer to find them.
  • On the show all devices choose whether the devices you looking at or just choose show all devices.
  • Choose the devices client then click Next
  • Enter the Bluetooth security code and start pairing.
  • After the paired relationship is built, select the service you are interested in from the list and click Next to continue.
  • A message appears to show that the selected shortcuts have been created on the My Bluetooth Places screen of Windows Explorer. Click OK to continue.

During the process it is usually an alert on the client display to make the pair connection securely.
