may be turned off. To use them in con-
nection with a Samsung computer sup-
porting Bluetooth, you must check if the
Bluetooth function of the device to con-
nect to is turned on.
For the procedures on turning on the
Bluetooth function of a device, refer to
the relevant device manual.
The services provided by Bluetooth de-
