A standard Bluetooth hands-free headset.
When paired together via a Bluetooth connection, devices such as a cell phone and a headset are able to communicate with each other via the short-wave, secure network. If you've attempted to pair two devices together via Bluetooth but are having less-than-acceptable reception or are unable to use both devices altogether, this could be due to a number of things. You can troubleshoot your Bluetooth connection in just a few seconds by removing a few variables from the equation and trying a few different things to fix the problem.
Instructions
1. Verify that the battery on both of your Bluetooth-compatible devices is completely charged. In order to properly make a connection, you'll need to have full battery charges on both your Bluetooth-compatible cell phone or PDA and Bluetooth-compatible headset. If you're having trouble making the connection, try charging the batteries on both devices and then try to establish your connection again.
2. Make sure no other Bluetooth networks are within range of the two devices you are trying to connect to. If you're attempting to connect a cell phone and headset, for example, and someone walks into the immediate area with other devices that are also connected via a Bluetooth network this could possibly cause interference and prohibit you from connecting your two devices. Make sure that no other Bluetooth devices are within range of the two you are trying to connect to ensure that everything is able to complete successfully.
3. Make sure both of your devices are actually Bluetooth compatible. Not every cell phone or personal data assistant is going to be equipped with Bluetooth technology. Look inside the users manual or on the box that came with your devices to make sure that they are both capable of using Bluetooth wireless networks. If they are not, you will not be able to establish the wireless network connection between the two hardware components.
4. Make sure both devices are in the appropriate "mode" for connection. In order to establish a Bluetooth connection, your cell phone or personal data assistant must be in "pairing" mode. This mode is entered through the main menu on the device. Likewise, your Bluetooth headset is going to need to be in "discoverable" mode. This mode is entered by pressing the button on the side of the headset. Make sure both devices are in the appropriate mode and then try your connection again.
