How to Pair a Bluetooth Headset to a PC

Connect your Bluetooth headset with your computer.

You can use specific Bluetooth headsets with your computer to listen to music. Windows XP Service Pack 2, Vista or Windows 7 computers have the capability to connect to Bluetooth devices. You may have a built-in Bluetooth chip in your computer that can connect to the device automatically. If your computer does not have built-in Bluetooth, you must use an adapter and install its software in order to connect.

Instructions

1. Open your "Control Panel," select "Hardware and Sound" and then "Bluetooth Settings." If your computer does not have this option, then you must use a Bluetooth adapter.

2. Set your headset into pairing mode by pressing and holding the "Answer" or "Call" button until an LED light comes on.

3. Click "Add" and select "My device is set up and ready to be found." Click "Next."

4. Choose your headset from the list of Bluetooth devices that appears on your screen and click "Next."

5. Enter the headset's PIN, which is "0000," to finish connecting the headset to the computer.
