Secondary Device-Specific Tasks That Can Be Performed on Remote Devices
Connect Service
1. Click View devices in range (Windows XP) or Find Bluetooth Devices (Windows 2000)
2. Double-click the name of the device you want to establish a connection with.
3. From the list of available services, double-click the name of the service you want to use. If the service requires a
secure connection and the two devices have not been paired, enter the Bluetooth PIN Code when prompted to
do so (see Responding to a Bluetooth PIN Code Request). A message indicating that the connection was
successful (or not) appears on the display of the remote device. A successful connection is indicated by the
appearance of the Bluetooth icon in the notification area (system tray) of the display of both devices (if the
remote device is a computer) and by the appearance of the device and service icons, wherever they appear (see
Viewing the Status of Remote Devices and the Services They Provide in Introduction for illustrations of status-
indicating icons). The white-on-blue Bluetooth icon
changes to a green-on-blue Bluetooth icon . For remote
devices other than computers, refer to the device user manual for information about how the device indicates the
status of the connection.
