A USB bluetooth bungle or dongle is a small wireless device that plugs into a USB port on a computer and enables a bluetooth connection to be configured on a computer that does not have bluetooth capabilities already installed. This is useful for older computers or basic computers that do not have this capability.
Bluetooth capabilities have several advantages. A computer with a bluetooth connection can quickly sync with other electronic devices that also have bluetooth capabilities (mobile phones, for example). Transferring data by bluetooth is fast, wireless and automatic.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Install the software included with the bluetooth device. Do not insert the bluetooth device into the USB port yet. Insert the software CD into the CD drive of the computer. The software should begin automatically. Navigate through the installation options, choose where you want to install the software and allow the software to install.

  2. Step 2

    Insert the bluetooth device into a USB port of the computer. Because the software was already installed, the computer should recognize the device immediately when it is plugged in.

  3. Step 3

    Begin the process of initializing the bluetooth connection by filling in your computer name and choosing your computer type within the options. Click "next" when finished.

  4. Step 4

    Configure the bluetooth device by following the prompts and click "next" when finished. Click "finish."

  5. Step 5

    Confirm the installation and configuration was successful by testing the bluetooth connection. Complete a test transfer between your computer and another bluetooth-configured device.
