In todays world, there has been a lot of technological advancement taking place. New inventions and innovations have been made. One of this is the improvement of the Bluetooth technology.
Bluetooth is a wireless protocol used for short distance communication that facilitates the transmission of data between two devices, whether mobile and/or fixed, generating wireless Personal Area Networks (PANs).
With the progression of Bluetooth, the mobile phone community has been able to develop and refine numerous wireless devices. One of this is the development of cordless headsets for mobile phones. As a result, users can leave their phones in their pocket or bag but still able to make or receive calls.
Since the introduction of Bluetooth headsets in the market, the computer community has also embraced the Bluetooth technology in order to make innovations of their own. That is why many of the traditional computers are converted into Bluetooth PC or Bluetooth-enabled computers.
Using A USB Bluetooth Adapter
Many of the traditional computers dont natively support the Bluetooth protocol. You have to buy expensive notebook Bluetooth PC or Bluetooth-enabled laptops to have computers that automatically support the Bluetooth protocol.
However, theres another way in order to make your traditional PC into a Bluetooth PC, this is by using a Bluetooth USB in a form of a dongle or adapter to make the computer Bluetooth-enabled.
These adapters are relatively small and can be inserted into the vacant USB port of a computer. You have to make sure that when you buy an adapter, it must support the headset protocol to enable your computer to communicate with and make use of any Bluetooth headsets within range.
Pairing The Headset With Your Bluetooth PC
Once you have converted your computer into a Bluetooth PC and you have purchased a Bluetooth headset, you have to pair the two so as to use it for VoIP (Voice-over-Internet protocol) applications.
You can do this by setting the headset into a discovery mode and enabling the Bluetooth PC to discover or search for the Bluetooth device.
The steps on how to enable the discovery mode may vary between different devices. It must be clearly explained in the instruction accompanying the device. Be sure to read the instructions before purchasing it.
Adjusting Audio Settings
Adjusting the audio settings depend upon the operating system and the hardware. It is recommended to make adjustments to the audio settings after the headset is paired with the Bluetooth PC.
When using the Windows operating system, you can adjust the audio settings by accessing the Audio Properties located in the Control Panel. You then need to set the audio and voice devices to your recently paired Bluetooth headset.
