How to Use the Bluetooth in the Gateway Laptop
ou may have bought a new Bluetooth-capable device like a Bluetooth mobile phone, and may want to load some ringtones or media files that you have stored on your Gateway laptop. This might be the first time you are ever attempting to communicate with a Bluetooth device using your laptop. Normally, Bluetooth has to be enabled on both the devices attempting to communicate. It is no good if Bluetooth is enabled on only one of the devices. All attempts at communicating via Bluetooth will fail. However, if Bluetooth is enabled on both the devices, bringing the two in close proximity is enough for the devices to detect each other. While this is what should happen and it happens most of the time, sometimes the devices need a helping hand. Here's where you come in.
Instructions
1Enable Bluetooth on the mobile phone. This procedure is dependent on the make and model of the mobile phone. You need to see the user manual accompanying your mobile phone to see how to enable Bluetooth.
2Turn on your Gateway Laptop. Check the area next to the clock in the System Tray. There should be an icon with a stylized "B" on a blue background. This is the Bluetooth icon. Double-click on this icon and select "Enable."
3Go to Control Panel. Locate "Bluetooth Configuration" and double-click on it. A window should pop up.
4Select the Accessibility tab. Check the option "Let other Bluetooth devices discover this computer." A check mark should appear against this entry.
5Select the Local Services tab. Startup type for all services should be set to "Auto."Select "OK" and click. Wait for a few seconds. Your laptop should have Bluetooth enabled by now.


Tips & Warnings
If your laptop does not detect the mobile phone even now, turn off the phone and turn it on again while keeping it close to the laptop.

In most cases, you have to manually turn the bluetooth capabilities "ON' in the administrative tools located in the control panel. Click the START button. The go to CONTROL PANEL, PERFORMANCE AND MAINTENANCE, then click the ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS icon. Locate the SERVICES icon. Double click the icon. To the left, you will see a list of options. DOUBLE click the SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS option. A list will populate showing the SERVICES your computer has. Locate the BLUETOOTH capabilities. Right click this option, go to PROPERTIES, click the DROP BOX menu. Make sure the service is set to automatic. Click apply and make sure you click the START button to begin the service. Your device should work after this.

Step 2 Access your Bluetooth Device settings. When the Control Panel opens, click on the settings link that reads, "Bluetooth Devices." This link will display all of the possible actions and settings you can take regarding your laptop's Bluetooth technology.

Step 3 Configure your laptop's Bluetooth technology. Select the "Start the Bluetooth Device" action. The blue and white Bluetooth icon will appear in the Windows System tray within the computer desktop's taskbar.

Step 4 Network with another device in order to import and export files. Double-click on the blue and white Bluetooth icon on your computer desktop's taskbar. A Bluetooth dialog window will appear on your screen displaying your Bluetooth technology portal. Click on the "Add Devices" action. You will then be asked if your laptop would like to search for other compatible devices. Click "Next" to proceed. You will be prompted to choose a passkey for the pairing.
