Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) of my device?
Right-click on the taskbar Bluetooth Icon and select Advanced
Configuration. Click on the Hardware tab. The Bluetooth address
will be displayed next to the Device Address.
Why can’t I discover a nearby Bluetooth device?
The remote device is probably in non-discoverable mode. Check
the status of the device and perform another search when the
remote device is in discoverable mode.
Why am I unable to exchange business cards?
Ensure that both Bluetooth devices have default business cards
created and selected.
Can other Bluetooth devices access my confidential files?
The Bluetooth specification provides levels of security. By default
your machine is discoverable and is sharing one empty folder. This
folder can only be accessed by other Bluetooth devices that you
have paired with and authorized.
Can I do a device discovery from my 2 machines simultaneously?
Simultaneous device discovery is supported but not recommended
as the machines may fail to discover each other.
Can I use my Bluetooth headset with my TDK Bluetooth PC Card?
Yes. Full audio support is available in version 1.3.2.7 of the TDK
Bluetooth software.
Can I use two Bluetooth profiles at the same time?
Yes, providing the remote equipment supports this feature. Both
the USB adaptor and PC card provide this functionality.
Why can’t I use dial-up networking and print to my Bluetooth
printer at the same time?
Bluetooth currently support two types of configuration, point-to-
point and point-to-multipoint.
Point-to-point acts as a cable replacement, allowing you to remove
the cable between your headset and your mobile phone, or from
your printer to your laptop.
Point-to-multipoint provides the ability to connect eight devices
simultaneously, this forms what is referred to as a Piconet. To
achieve this one device must be the controller (referred to as the
Master) and the other seven devices must be controlled (referred
to as the Slaves). As you can imagine this is not a simple task for
the Master device and not all devices can perform this role. Also
not all profiles can support multipoint connections. In practice only
Network Access Profile and the Serial Port Profile support
multipoint connections.
When I start Windows without my USB Adaptor attached, the
