843193 2009-12-26 09:20:00 Hey I got a Plantronics Explorer 230 mobile bluetooth headset for christmas.
Was going to try and also use it with my laptop for skype, but when I try to pair it with my laptop nothing shows up on available devices even though it is on and sitting right next to laptop, also tried with ibook G4 same thing.
Is there something wrong with my bluetooth in my laptops or is the bluetooth headset just not made for laptops to pick up?

First you need to turn Bluetooth on in your laptop.

Begin wth the headset off. Now press and hold the control button for approximately ten seconds. The Led will flash blue. Continue holding button until Led flashes red then blue. Release button. Headset is now in Pairing Mode.

Laptop should be able to find it. If Passkey is required, default is 0000.

Hope this helps.
