containing Brain Boxes Bluetooth hardware and other Bluetooth enabled devices.
This document will give an overview of the use of the 'My Bluetooth Devices' Interface. The information
contained in this overview will by its nature be generic and does not neccesarily reflect the behaviour
when interoperating with your specific device.
For information relating to connecting to specific devices see the interoperability guides.
For information relating to installing the software, please refer to the product installation guides for your
product/operating system combination.

discovery.
An alternative method of opening the user interface is to click the Brain Boxes icon in the system tray.

operation should be fairly intuitive. However, as with all new technologies, some of the specific's need to
be explained rather more fully.
