On a laptop, there's likely a Bluetooth icon that looks like a B made out of a twist tie in the system tray. Double-click it to get started. If you use a desktop PC, you might need a Bluetooth adapter such as the D-Link DBT-120. Plug it in and run the install disc. Start Bluetooth, and you will see the welcome screen.

These next few steps differ slightly depending on your stack. A Bluetooth stack determines what your phone can do, such as sync, data or serve as a Web link. WIDCOMM is common, especially on laptop. But Toshiba laptops use the RFCOMM stack, and Microsoft has a more generic stack. Fortunately, most stack require the same basic information.

Choose Services

You can now select which services you want to use with your phone. Just place a check next to the ones you want. The catch: when you actually "pair" your phone with your PC, There is another prompt that will let you specify which services you can really use with that phone and that stack.

Get Connected

Select your phone and click Next. If you don't see your phone, check out the "Bluetooth Trouble" sidebar (right). Type a code for pairing- entering the same code on both you PC and your phone, for security. This can be any number number-although you might have to check the manual to specific code. Click Pair Now. On your phone, type the same code. Now, click Yes or OK to pair the phone.

Pat yourself on the back

On you PC, you will a screen that says which Bluetooth services are available for your phone. Select the ones you want and click Next. Congrats, you have successfully enabled Bluetooth and paired your phone.
