TosetupaBluetoothconnection,theremotedevicemustbefoundfirst.Thereare3
waystofindremotedevicesinBlueSoleil.
InquireDevice
1. Single‐clicktheredballinthemainwindowtostartinquiry. 

2. Bluetoothdeviceswithintheradiorangewillbeshownaroundthecenter

Thedeviceswhichhadbeenfoundorconnectedcanbeaddedfromthehistory
devicelistdirectly.
1. SelectmenuTools|AddDevicefromHistory....TheHistorydialogboxpops
up. 
2. SelectthedevicefromthelistandclickbuttonAdd,thedevicewillbeadded
tothemainwindow.
AddaNewDevicebyEnteringDeviceAddress
IfthedevicecannotbefoundbyInquiring,youcanenterthedeviceaddresstoadd
thedevice.
1. SelectmenuTools|AddNewDevice....TheAddNewDevicedialogpopsup.
2. EntertheBluetoothdeviceaddressandclickbuttonOK,thedevicewillbe
