## Communicating with Another BLUETOOTH(R) Device such as a Mouse

You can connect BLUETOOTH devices to your VAIO computer.

For details on BLUETOOTH communication, see About the BLUETOOTH(R) Function.

1. Open the charms and select theSettings charm. (See Opening the Charms to open the charms.)
2. Select Change PC settings in the lower right corner.
3. Select Wireless in the left pane of the PC settings screen.
4. Change Airplane mode to Off and the Bluetooth settings to On.
5. Select Devices in the left pane of the PC settings screen.
6. When connecting a BLUETOOTH mouse, turn it on and press the button to connect the mouse.

   Refer to the manual that came with your BLUETOOTH device for the procedure to ready the device for connection.

7. Select Add a device.

   Your VAIO computer searches for devices and displays a device list.

   Follow the on-screen instructions to register your device.

#### Note

- Depending on the BLUETOOTH device, it may take some time for your VAIO computer to find the device.

  If your device does not appear in the list, repeat the procedure to ready the device for connection (for example, pressing the button for connection).

- Depending on the BLUETOOTH device, the procedure to establish connection may vary. Refer to the manual that came with the device for the procedure.

#### Hint

- If your VAIO computer is compliant with BLUETOOTH high speed technology and you intend to use it for high-speed communications, change the Wi-Fi setting under Wireless devices to On in step 4.

- A window appears for passcode input if a BLUETOOTH device is requesting authentication to establish connection. Follow the on-screen instructions to share the passcode between the BLUETOOTH device and your VAIO computer. If you do not wish to connect, select the Cancel button in the window.

  - A passcode is a secret number that is entered by a user to use for the authentication process to allow two BLUETOOTH devices to communicate with each other. Enter the same alphanumeric string (case-sensitive) for both devices to allow them to communicate with each other. You can change the passcode every time you perform authentication, providing you enter the same passcode for both devices during the authentication process. For details on the passcode of a BLUETOOTH device, refer to the manual that came with the device. If no BLUETOOTH passcode is entered for a certain time, the connection process will be terminated for security. In this case, try again.

- For details on the operations, open Windows Help and Support (Opening Windows Help and Support), and enter "BLUETOOTH" in the search box.
