Product Specification
Description
The BT-210 Bluetooth USB Adapter is a perfect
solution for those looking for easy, all-in-one,
Bluetooth connectivity.
Our design eliminates the need for a system to apply
its processing and memory resources to running the
BT-210 since it already has its own microprocessor,
memory, and firmware!
Customized firmware for peripheral device
interaction, power optimization, security, and other
proprietary features may be supported and can be
ordered pre-loaded and configured.

2 Driver Installation
Windows XP Installation Instructions:
Step 1
Simply plug in the BT-210 into any available USB port.
The computer will respond with the following two
messages...
Step 2
Next, Windows will launch a "Found New Hardware
Wizard" installation window.
Select YES to locate the drivers from the Microsoft
website.
Click NEXT to install automatically.
Now the BT-210 USB to UART Controller and Virtual
COM port driver is installed.

Step 4
You may open the Windows Device Manager application to verify correct installation, and see which COM
port has been assigned to your BT-210 Bluetooth serial device. The BT-210 will usually be assigned the
same virtual COM port each time it is inserted (unless you have other virtual COM devices altering port
assignments).
You should see the two device drivers for your BT-210 Bluetooth device here
The CP2102 chip provides the functionality to use standard UART serial communications from your computer
via the Universal Serial Bus, and interfaces directly to our Bluetooth module inside the BT-210 Bluetooth
serial adapter.
