Installation and Pairing
Note: It is crucial that preexisting Bluetooth software on the
host computer be disabled prior to installing and operating
the provided software. Failure to do so may result in reduced
functionality or a failure by the computer to recognize the
software correctly. If a “Product Key” is requested while
operating the software, this is due to a conflict with the
provided software and preexisting Bluetooth software.
1. Insert the driver CD and run the “setup.exe”
driver file in the BlueSoleil10 folder to start the
installation.
Note: If your computer does not have a CD drive, you can
download the driver file at www.tripplite.com/support.
2. Follow all on-screen instructions and prompts
displayed by the Install Wizard.
3. When prompted with a “Restart System” message,
click Yes.
4. Once your system restarts, insert the Bluetooth
adapter into an available USB port on your
computer or laptop.
5. A Desktop Icon will appear for the BlueSoleil
software. Click on the icon.
Note: If no desktop icon appears, go to the start menu to
access the software.

Installation and Pairing
6. When the BlueSoleil main screen displays, click the
orange ball in the middle of the screen to search
for Bluetooth devices. When found, the Bluetooth
device will display as an icon orbiting the orange
ball.
7. To begin the pairing process, double-click on the
device icon you want to access. Follow the prompts.
Note: In some cases, you may need to establish a trusted
relationship between BlueSoleil and the Bluetooth device by
entering the same password on both the software and the
device. On BlueSoleil, enter a password in the “Passkey”
field when the “Enter Bluetooth Passkey” window displays.

Installation and Pairing
8. After a successful pairing, a mark will appear beside
the paired device icon. A dotted line will appear
between the orange ball and the device to confirm
a successful Bluetooth connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if another third-party Bluetooth
application or driver is already installed on my
system?
A: Any built-in Bluetooth functionality must be
disabled and any third-party Bluetooth applications
should be uninstalled or disabled prior to installing
BlueSoleil.
Q: Can I install BlueSoleil from a source other
than the included CD or download from the
Tripp Lite website?
A: No. The only authorized BlueSoleil application
approved for use with the U261-001-BT4 must come
from the CD or be downloaded from tripplite.com.
Downloads/installations from other sources, including
the BlueSoleil website, will require an activation
code that must be purchased from BlueSoleil. The
installation files on the included CD/tripplite.com
download are already activated and authorized for use
with the U261-001-BT4.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is it okay if I modify the BlueSoleil
application?

application in any way. The BlueSoleil application
allows you to modify settings, but doing so in some
cases may create issues with using the
U261-001-BT4.
Q: Is connecting and pairing a one-step process?
A: The connecting/pairing process with BlueSoleil
may require additional steps. Please see the support
document for more detail.
