Pairing to a Bluetooth Wireless Adapter
The PRC Bluetooth Wireless Adapter is an option you can purchase from PRC.
At this time you can use only one Bluetooth device at a time with your device. If you are using a Bluetooth switch and want to connect to an external computer, you must unpair your switch and pair with the Wireless Adapter instead.
Before You Plug In the Adapter
Notice that the wireless adapter has a PRC label on one side and a label with a white circle and an arrow pointing down on the other. The circle label covers a small switch called the "pair button".
You will have to press this white circle during the set-up process. Depending on where the USB ports are on your computer, it may be difficult to reach the circle and also reach your device. You may want to ask someone to help you.
1. Plug the Bluetooth wireless adapter into the USB port on your computer. Remember where the white circle is on the adapter. The LED on the adapter may flash for a moment when you plug it in.
2. On your device, go to the Toolbox and open the OUTPUT MENU.
3. Set Output to ON.
4. Set Output Destination to EXTERNAL
5. Set Output Method to Bluetooth.
6. Press the Pair with BT Adapter option.
7. You will see a yellow box telling you to press the Pair button on the adapter. Press the white circle label on the Bluetooth adapter.
9. The LED on the adapter will begin to blink. When you see a solid light, the adapter has paired with your device and computer. This can take up to 20-30 seconds. In the Status Box in the OUTPUT MENU you will see, “Paired, Connected”.
10. Exit the OUTPUT MENU and go to your spelling keyboard.
11. Open a word document or an application on your computer that you can type into.
12. Begin typing on your spelling keyboard. Your information should appear on your computer screen.
Tip: It does not matter in what order you perform steps 6 and 7. You can press the white circle first, then press the Pair option in the OUTPUT MENU or vice-versa.
Once your adapter is paired with your computer, it should always be paired. You can remove it from your computer and the next time you plug it in, the LED should light and it should be ready to go as long as your OUTPUT MENU is set correctly.
The Bluetooth adapter has a wide range. Your communication device and the adapter do not have to "see" each other to work.
Paired Devices in the OUTPUT MENU allows you to see and re-connect to any Bluetooth devices you have been paired with. Disconnect allows you to disconnect from your current Bluetooth device.
