How do I pair my Bluetooth Headset with ThinkPad with Windows 7

I have got a Plantronics explorer 210 bluetooth headset.  I was hoping to pair it with my lenovo E431 laptop running  Windows 7 .  However, I do not see any application that will allow me to pair the headset.  I do see an application to transfer files over bluetooth. I don't see bluetooth device in the system. Thought the specs say bluetooth should be present. 

Look into tray menu or press the wireless-FN-button and see if has been deactivated...

  • How do i pair a bluetooth headset with my 3g touch

    HELP!!!!

    Pair Bluetooth headphones with iPod touch:
    1. Follow the instructions that came with the headphones to make them discoverable.
    2. In Settings, choose General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth on.
    3. Select the headphones and, if prompted, enter the passkey or PIN number. See the instructions about the passkey or PIN that came with your headphones.
    4. After you pair headphones with iPod touch, the product name and a Bluetooth audio icon appear on the screen when you are viewing audio or video playback controls.
    5. Tap the bluetooth icon to switch to a different audio output, such as the internal speaker.

  • How do I get my Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headset to work with the iPhone5?

    My excellent Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headset worked fine with my 4S but I can't get it to even be recognized by my new iPhone5...does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Try resetting the sd10-hd .  That solved my problem. I was able to pair with my iPhone 5.
    Follow this link to instruction to reset the s10-hd, https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/ 59350/p/1422,2690,7709
    Essentially hold down the + and 0 (power button) until the LED turns blue. Then power off the headset and power on.  Put the iPhone in discoverable mode and they should now sync.

  • Procedure to pair a bluetooth headset to the iphone??

    This is the first time that I have ever used the bluetooth on my iPhone. I just received a Motorola H550 bluetooth headset. This lists the iPhone as compatible. Is there some special procedure to follow to get it to pair? I turned on the headset and let it come on completely, then went to setting and turned on the bluetooth on the iPhone. It recognized the H550 Device, but the spinning gear continued and showed "Not Paired". It also says "Now Discoverable" Did I miss something? It has been updated to 1.1.4.
    Thanks

    Hey Herschel,
    It sounds like you'll need to put the Motorola headset into a discoverable mode. Generally this is done by holding down a button or pressing multiple buttons until you see it blink. You'll have to check the manual that came with the headset to find the exact way to make the headset discoverable.
    This article walks you through pairing the iPhone with a third party headset.

  • HT204387 How can I get my bluetooth headset to ring in my ear when I receive a text?? It works just fine when I get a call because I set it up that way when I went to settings

    I connected my iPhone 4S to a bluetooth headset, and I went to setting/general/access ability/ and whatever else to set it up to where when I receive a call it goes to my headset automatically, but when I receive a text it doesn't come through to my headset. How can I make my text ringtone go to my headset??

    The headset must support A2DP audio streaming and the notification sound has to be long enough that it actually kicks in and plays it.

  • Bluetooth headset not working with 2008 Macbook!

    Hello,
    I just got a new Macbook and love it!
    But, the other day I tried out my Bluetooth headset and the A2DP headphone choice works great.
    But when I change it to headset for use with skype I can hear the person but all they hear is weird repeating static. I listened to myself with skype call testing service and it sounds bad. I looked in preferences of sound and most of the sound bars are purple and moving as if
    i am yelling into the microphone. I know it is not the headset for it works with my cellphone and eMac.
    Anything I do to the headset doesn't solve this or even brake the pattern in the purple bars.
    I turned off the headset when it was showing these bars and they kept going.
    It is not the headset. The Macbook is capable of receiving files through Bluetooth so it is not the input of Bluetooth that is the problem.
    Also, when I first started the microphone of the headset it was clear then after a couple seconds it started to drown out my voice then it was gone, replaced by shhhhhhchhh.
    My headset is a Plantronics 590E.
    Thanks,
    MIBM

    Yes, thank you.
    I was recently on Vacation and scheduled a Genius Bar visit and they tested my headset with another Macbook and same thing. I am very mad at Apple after finding this out. I had a feeling it was drivers or something but obviously could not test seeing as I only have one computer running Leopard, eMac runs Tiger. I actually have a third party bluetooth dongle working with my eMac. It is an Iogear dongle and on the box it says all features work with Mac and then I plugged it in and was unable to turn on/off and couldn't use headsets, then after hours of research I found a forum and downloaded a Broadcom driver and voila! it worked. That is also why I wasn't sure if it was a driver problem or hardware.
    If anyone needs a tutorial and the driver for a broadcom bluetooth USB dongle I would be happy to help.
    Thanks,

  • Plantronics 655 bluetooth headset not working with macbook pro

  • Bluetooth headset not working with flash files

    Just got a Plantronics Voyager 510 bluetooth headset. Works just fine, except when viewing clips at YouTube. Not only is there no sound, the clip freezes after a few seconds. I believe they are Adobe Flash. Now this is on my new late 2007 MacBook with Leopard.
    So I figure I'll try the headset on my Intel 1.66 Mac Mine with Tiger 10.4.10. Same thing
    Any ideas.

    Apparently Apple cheaped out on the Bluetooth support in the Tiger OS X (or an official profile wasn't even available)....something to do with not having Stereo Headset support.
    It is possible to circumvent it: http://blog.david.connolly.name/2007/06/stereo-bluetooth-profile-a2dp-on-mac-os. html However, as indicated on the top of that topic - it is outdated (and IMO too much effort).
    In a nutshell - you're being quietly coaxed in to buying Leopard OS X - which does have the Stereo Bluetooth profile installed.
    What I don't get is why Apple can't release to us a nice little patch for Tiger to give us the full use of our Bluetooth hardwares.
