Step 1
Find compatible Bluetooth devices. There are plenty of devices with which you can use a Bluetooth headset, including computers, netbooks, cell phones and even the PlayStation 3 game console. Although you can have your Bluetooth headset linked to only one device at a time, you can switch which device your headset is synced to whenever you want.

Step 2
Sync your headset to these devices. Although specific sync procedures will vary from model to model, they all have the same basic steps. Put your device in discovery mode, and then put your headset in sync mode. Once the two devices find each other, a link is made, which allows them to interact.

Step 3
Program voice commands. If you are using a Bluetooth device with a cell phone or computer, you can program it to launch certain applications. For example, most Bluetooth-enabled phones have a "call" button that involves pressing a button to establish a link to the phone. Then a command can be issued like "Call Home" in the case of a phone or "Open Browser" for a computer. To program these commands, open your phone or computer's voice command utility and follow the instructions specific to the device.

on 6/17/2009 Terrific how-to. One overlooked aspect of bluetooth technology, especially in regards to its use with a wireless phone is a line-of-sight limitation. I found this out one day while walking in the parking lot, and the person on the other end of the call said I was coming in broken and crackling. It sounded fine on my end, but in the process of getting my keys out of my pocket, I moved the phone over to the same side of my head as the headset, and the person on the other end immediately said, "what did you do, you're clear as a bell now". From now on, I keep the two devices in line-of-sight.
