'Connecting' Bluetooth Headset With Computer

Ok, so you've successfully 'paired' your Bluetooth Headset with your computer. Now we're going to 'connect' the Headset so that you can start using it. There are two ways in which we can 'connect' our Headset. Both of the methods I'm about to tell you about achieve the same thing so really it's up to you how you want to do it.

Method 1: Note: The first time you try the following method, your Bluetooth Headset may not be visible in the context menu we're about to bring up. 'Right-click' the Bluetooth icon in your Windows taskbar and highlight 'Quick Connect'. Note: If you're unable to select 'Quick Connect', it's likely that you're Bluetooth Adapter isn't switched on so you should firstly, 'right-click' the Bluetooth Icon and select 'Start the Bluetooth Device'.

After you've highlighted 'Quick Connect', there should be one of two things in the context menu that appears. If this is the first time that you're connecting your Bluetooth Headset, its identifying name may not be present in the 'quick connect' context menu. Instead, you'll probably see an option that says 'Find Devices'. Select this option and a small window should appear in which your Bluetooth Headset is clearly visible.

Select your Bluetooth Headset in this menu and click 'connect'. You computer will then attempt to connect to your Bluetooth Headset and a small screen should pop up saying "Connecting Headset on H1010" (Note: your 'connecting' message likely won't say H1010 - this is my particular Bluetooth Headset model);

Once your computer has established a connection, another window will pop up with the following message:

Furthermore, your headset may also 'ring' like a telephone signifying that a connection is being attempted. Simply press the answer button on your Headset to 'connect'.

Method 2: The next method it similar to the first however instead of going through the 'quick-connect' steps via the small Bluetooth icon in the taskbar, 'double-click' either the taskbar icon or the 'My Bluetooth Places' icon on your desktop. In the window that pops up, your Bluetooth Headset should be clearly visible above the other icons.

Simply, 'right-click' this icon, select 'connect' and your Headset should 'connect' as in method 1.

Congrats again!
