How to Set Up a Bluetooth Device

Although these instructions use a mouse as the device to be set up, this process will also work with other Bluetooth-enabled devices. In this case, we used the Eclipse Touch Mouse as the demonstration device.

To begin, insert the Bluetooth receiver into a USB port. If your device doesn't come with a Bluetooth receiver, you can pick one up from most electronics retailers.

• Insert a Bluetooth receiver into a USB port.
• Click on the Bluetooth Devices icon on the bottom of the screen.
• Click “Add a Device.”
• Click the “connect” or “pair” button on the mouse.
• Select the device once it appears and click “Next.”
• The device should be properly installed.
