To install the software for the USB Adapter, follow the instructions below:
The installation process for Windows XP may look slightly different from Windows 98 SE, Me, and 2000.
Note: Do not insert the USB Adapter into the USB port prior to installation.

Insert the software installation CD into the PC’s CD-ROM drive.
The “Software InstallShield Wizard” window appears. Click on “Next” to begin the installation process.
Choose “I accept the terms in the license agreement” to accept the license agreement. Click on “Next” to continue.
Specify the location where the software files will be installed on your hard drive.
It is recommended that you install the software in the default directory “C:\Program Files\Belkin\Bluetooth\Software\”. Click on “Next” to continue.
Confirm that the device software is ready to be installed and click on “Install”.
The InstallShield Wizard will begin to install the Bluetooth software. This may take several minutes.
During the installation process, you may be prompted to insert your Bluetooth USB Adapter. If your Adapter is not plugged into your computer at this time, you may insert it into an available USB 1.1-compliant port on your desktop or notebook, then click “OK” to continue. Click on “Cancel” to continue installation without the Bluetooth device inserted. Refer to the “Hardware Setup” section on page 16 for detailed instructions on connecting the USB Adapter to your computer.

HARDWARE SETUP

USB Adapter
You must connect the Bluetooth USB Adapter to an available Universal Serial Bus (USB) port on your computer.
Note: Your USB Adapter is sensitive to static electricity, which can damage its delicate electrical components. Electrostatic charges can be acquired simply by dry weather conditions or they can occur when you walk across carpeted floors. To protect your
device, always touch the metal chassis of your computer before handling the USB Adapter, or any internal computer component. This will ground a potential electrostatic discharge. Avoid touching the metal connector when handling the USB Adapter.
There are two ways to connect your USB Adapter:

Connect the USB Adapter directly to an available USB A-type connector on your desktop or notebook computer.
Connect the USB Adapter to the included USB base stand, and then connect the other end of the cable to an available USB A-type connector on your desktop or notebook computer. This is recommended for desktop computers.

Hardware Setup for Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, and XP

Once you have connected the USB Adapter, your system will display a “New USB device found” dialog box. Follow the prompts to install drivers for your Adapter.
Choose “Install from a list or Specific location”; then click “Next”.
Browse for the location of the device driver “C:\Program Files\Belkin\ Bluetooth\Software\bin\” then click “Next”.
If you receive the following “Hardware installation notice”, click on “Continue Anyway” to continue with the installation process.
A window will appear that confirms the completion of the hardware installation; click on “Finish” to complete the installation process.

INITIAL CONFIGURATION WIZARD

Configuring your Computer for Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, and XP

Name your computer with a name you can easily remember. This name will appear in reference to your computer when it is discovered by other Bluetooth devices.
Choose the type of computer you have installed the Bluetooth USB Adapter to in the drop-down menu and click “Next”.
Continue to use the Wizard to configure the Bluetooth services that this computer will allow other Bluetooth devices to access. Click “Next”.
Choose the Bluetooth services your computer will offer. The most common service for your computer type will be checked by default and then click “Next”.
Congratulations! Your computer is ready to connect to your Bluetooth devices.
If you have another Bluetooth device and you want to configure the way this computer will use its services, click “Next”. Otherwise click “Skip”, and proceed to the “Connecting the Bluetooth Mouse” section of this manual on page 23.
