1. Introduction
This Bluetooth USB Adapter adds Bluetooth technology to your existing USB PC or
notebook. Simply plug it into the USB port of your machine for seamless
connectivity with other Bluetooth devices.
The Bluetooth® wireless technology provides short-range wireless
communications that replace the physical cable connections that traditionally link
electronic devices.
• Network access points
• Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA, etc.)
• Imaging devices (printer, camera)
• Audio devices (headset, speakers)
Bluetooth wireless technology also enables communication between the above
devices and Bluetooth enabled phones (example: cellular, cordless, smart phones).
The Bluetooth for Windows software consists of the following components:
• Microsoft® Windows® Explorer Extensions - provides access to Bluetooth
devices in the immediate vicinity using Windows Explorer.
• My Bluetooth Places - graphical user interface (GUI) that provides access to
Bluetooth devices in the immediate vicinity. Also provides access to configure the
local devices and access to perform other Bluetooth tasks.
• BTTray Security Manager - controls and manages Bluetooth security levels.
Enables user to grant or deny access and to filter what can be accessed on a
Bluetooth device.
• Bluetooth for Windows Configuration Panel - configures Bluetooth for Windows
(BTW) software using Windows Control Panel.
• Stack Server - provides an interface for the operating system to control Bluetooth
devices and to ensure that Bluetooth connections operate together correctly. The
USB Bluetooth Dongle User’s Manual
6
stack server has a built-in Security Manager that protects the Bluetooth device from
unauthorized access.
• Bluetooth Setup wizard - facilitates the configuration and modification of
Bluetooth environment. The wizard can be used to configure or change local
services or to establish connections to remote devices based on service type or
device type.
• Quick Connect - facilitates fast connections based on service type. Enables user
to quickly find devices that support a particular service and establish a connection
to that service. During this process, a shortcut to the service is created in My
Bluetooth Places, which can be used for subsequent connections.

USB Bluetooth Dongle User’s Manual
22
Image Format Conversion
Some devices, particularly battery-powered devices such as phones and cameras,
may only be able to accept images in one format and at a single fixed resolution. In
that case, the image is converted to the required format and resolution before it is
transferred to the remote device.
Create an Imaging Connection
Imaging application connections are created automatically on an as-needed basis.
To send an image to the remote imaging device:
• In Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, drag and drop the image file onto the
destination’s device icon.
• In Windows Explorer, right-click an image file and, from the shortcut menu, select
Copy. Then, in Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, right-click the destination
device, and, from the shortcut menu, select Paste.
• If a shortcut to the remote device’s imaging service exists in My Bluetooth Places,
drag and drop, or, copy and paste, to that shortcut.
Note: Battery-powered remote devices, such as a cell phones or cameras, may
require that Bluetooth be specifically enabled before they can accept an image;
see the battery-powered device’s documentation for more information.
Close an Imaging Connection
Imaging connections close automatically when the image transfer is complete. To
abort the image transfer, click Cancel in the transfer dialog box.
Configure
The Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Client Applications > Imaging > General tab
provides options to configure:
• The application name - to change it, highlight the existing name and enter the
new name.
• Secure connection - to enable secure connection, select the option box. To
disable secure connection, clear the option box.
5. Using Bluetooth Applications
23
Remote Camera Operation
Remote operation of the Bluetooth imaging device, such as the ability to trip a
camera’s shutter or browse the images on a device, may be possible, depending
on the functions supported by the remote device.

• Email (*.vmg)
• Calendar (*.vcs)
USB Bluetooth Dongle User’s Manual
30
• Other Types (refer to “Configure Bluetooth” on page 12. Files can be sent by
drag and drop on the OBEX service.)
Item transfer can be accomplished several ways:
• From Windows Explorer, My Bluetooth Places, highlight the PIM Item Transfer
service on a remote device, and then, from the Bluetooth menu on the Windows
menu bar, select the appropriate action.
• From within a supported Personal Information Manager:
• Select one or more items and then, from the PIM's File menu, select Send to
Bluetooth.
Note: If synchronization is enabled for a specific item type, but is not enabled for
that item type on the remote device, synchronization will not take place for that
item.
Note: Not all choices are available for all items. For example, Note items can only
be synchronized in Microsoft Outlook. Therefore Lotus Notes and Outlook Express
are not displayed as options in the
“Notes” item shortcut menu. Personal Information Managers that are not installed
on this computer are not displayed as options in the shortcut menus.
or
• Drag-and-drop a supported item directly from your PIM to the PIM Item Transfer
service icon of a remote device.
• For business cards:
• From Windows Explorer, My Bluetooth Places, right-click the PIM Item Transfer
service on a remote device and select the appropriate option.
or
• In the Notification area, at the far right of the taskbar, right-click the Bluetooth
icon, select Quick Connect > Business Card Exchange, select a device from the list,
select the appropriate option from the shortcut menu, and then click OK.
Whether sent items are accepted by the remote device is determined by how the
remote device's PIM Item Transfer service is configured.
5. Using Bluetooth Applications
31
Close a PIM Item Transfer Connection
This application closes the open connection automatically when its task is
complete.
Configure PIM Item Transfer
The Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Client Applications > PIM Item Transfer >
General tab provides options to configure:
• The application name - to change it, highlight the existing name and enter the
new name.
• Enable or disable secure connection - to enable secure connection, place a
checkmark in the box.
• How your business card is handled when it is requested by a remote device - the
Send My Business Card options are:
• Choose a business card as needed - each time a remote device requests your
business card you must select a card from your PIM. If you ignore the request the
remote device will receive a timeout notice.
• Always send the same business card - when this option is selected a dialog box
is displayed that allows you to set a default business card that will be sent
automatically when requests are received.
• Where to store received business cards. The Received Business Cards options
are:
• Microsoft Outlook
• Outlook Express
• Lotus Notes
• Email attachments - the only option is to include or not to include attachments
with email that is sent or received on the computer using this service.
Note: The selected Received Business Cards option does not influence the
settings on other PIM related property pages. Example: even if the PIM Item
Transfer service business card option on this computer is configured to Do Not
Accept, the PIM Item Transfer application will still accept business cards that the
application has specifically requested from its Receive or Exchange functions.
