Note: Do not insert the USB Adapter into the USB port prior to software installation. 1. Insert the software installation CD-ROM into the PC’s CD-ROM drive. 2. The “Software InstallShield Wizard” window appears. Click on “Next” to begin the installation process. SOFTWARE SETUP 3. Choose “I accept the terms in the license agreement” to accept the license agreement. Click on “Next”. 10 4. Name your device and select the type of computer you are installing your USB Adapter in. Click on “Next”. SOFTWARE SETUP 5. Specify the location where the software and driver will be installed on your hard drive.

Confirm that the device software and driver are ready to be installed and click on “Install”. 11 SOFTWARE SETUP Note: If at any time during the installation process you receive a “Driver Signature Notice”, click “Yes” or “OK” to continue the installation process. 7. Confirm the completion of installation; click “Finish” and then restart the system. 12 INSTALLING THE USB ADAPTER Note: Your USB Adapter is sensitive to static electricity, which can damage its delicate electrical components. To protect your device, always touch the metal chassis of your computer before handling the USB Adapter. This will ground any potential electrostatic discharge. Avoid touching the metal connector when handling the USB Adapter. Dry weather conditions or walking across carpeted floors may cause you to acquire an electrostatic charge. Connect the USB Adapter directly to an available USB A-type connector on your desktop or notebook computer. 13 INSTALLING THE USB ADAPTER Note: Your USB Adapter is equipped with a powerful antenna, which provides optimal performance of the radio. In some instances, attaching the USB Adapter directly to the rear of a desktop PC is not the optimal place for the antenna to propagate its radio signal. For these instances, we recommend you a USB extension cable (Belkin part number F8T050) to extend the USB Adapter to a more optimal place for the radio signals to propagate. 14 INSTALLING THE USB DEVICE DRIVER 1. After installing the software and restarting the system, insert the USB Adapter into an available USB port. You should see your system register a new, USB device found. Click on “Next”. Note: In some computers, the USB hardware installation will be automatic and Installation Steps 1–5 will not be necessary. 2. Choose “Search for a suitable driver for my device”. Click on “Next”. Note: If you receive a Microsoft Digital Signature Notice, click “Continue” to complete the installation process. 15 INSTALLING THE USB DEVICE DRIVER 3. Select “Specify a Location” and click on “Next”. Browse for the location of the device driver “C:\Program Files\Belkin\Bluetooth Software\bin\”; then click “OK”. 16 4. Confirm that the device driver was found and click on “Next”. INSTALLING THE USB DEVICE DRIVER 5. A window will appear that confirms the completion of the driver installation; click on “Finish”. 6. “My Bluetooth Places” should appear on your desktop. Your installation process is now complete. 17 BLUETOOTH CONFIGURATION SETTINGS A variety of Bluetooth services and explanations of each service can be found in the “Help” file of the “My Bluetooth Places” program.
