Bluetooth headsets are great for an easy, wireless conversation with anyone on your cell phone. Use it to keep your hands free for washing the dishes, doing laundry, walking around the mall or driving in your car. They are also compatible now to use with your home or office computer.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy
Step1
Link it to your cell phone. Cell phones can be easy, but nothing is easier than keeping it in your pocket when you talk. Use a Bluetooth headset to have a hands free conversation. They are typically worn over the ear, and can be used without charging for one to four hours.
Step2
Use a Bluetooth headset with your PC. You will probably need an adapter to link up your headset with your PC, and they are placed in a vacant USB port in your computer. It enables your PC to communicate with and through the headset.
Step3
Pair your Bluetooth headset with your PC in order to use it for VoIP applications. You must set your headset to the discovery option and allow your computer to roam and link with the headset.
Step4
Keep it charged. In order to get the most life out of your headset, keep it charged when you aren't using it. This will ensure that it is ready whenever you need it. Use the standard house charger at home, and buy a car charger for traveling.
Step5
Adjust the volume. Make it easy on your ears by lowering the volume to a level that is comfortable. When you choose a setting that is too loud you can hurt the ear drum and if you set it too low you may strain to hear the other person.

on 7/2/2008 It sounds simple, and here I thought I had to have an internal port devoted to a "card" in order to use Blue Tooth. I'm encouraged by your article. Thanks!
