DISCOVERY SETTINGS
The settings on the Discovery tab of the Bluetooth Configuration Panel determine whether this
computer looks for other Bluetooth devices automatically, how often it looks for devices, and what
type of devices it looks for.
Periodic Search for Devices
When Look for other Bluetooth devices is selected, Bluetooth automatically searches for devices
every X minutes. X is a whole number between 1 and 60. To change the time between automatic
inquiries, highlight the existing time and enter the new time.
Note: When My Bluetooth Places is first opened, it performs an initial automatic search for
devices even if Look for other Bluetooth devices is not enabled.
Determine the Devices that Will be Reported
Bluetooth can screen out devices that you do not need access to.
The options are:
• Report all Bluetooth devices
• Report only selected Bluetooth devices (see Discovery, Adding Specific Devices and Discovery,
Deleting Specific Devices).
Select the preferred option from the drop-down list.
Discover Specific Devices
The type of devices that this computer looks for and reports when it is searching for other
Bluetooth devices can be limited. Limit the remote devices reported:
Bluetooth can report only specific devices, specific classes of device, or specific types of device
within a class.
• Specific devices - an individual computer or Bluetooth cellular telephone are examples of
specific devices.
• Specific class of device - computer is an example of a class of devices.
• Specific type of device within a class - laptop is an example of a specific type of device within
the computer class of devices.
The devices to be discovered can be mixed and matched; you can discover one or more spe-
cific devices, classes of devices and types of devices within a class at the same time.
Remove a Device from the List of Devices to be Discovered
In the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, from the Discovery tab, select the device to be removed
and click the Delete button.
Note: If Report only selected Bluetooth devices is not selected, the Delete button will not
be available.
