Windows Bluetooth dongle setup


PC with no internal Bluetooth:

  1. Plug the dongle into a USB port. We recommend avoiding USB hubs, try to connect directly into the PC.
  2. Dongle may need to install Bluetooth drivers. Follow on screen prompts.
  3. Once drivers have been installed, Bluetooth will be available.
