When you open BTExplorer for the first time, the program appears in Wizard mode. Use the New Connection Wizard to set up
connections with other Bluetooth devices and save connections as Favorites. Each time you open BTExplorer, your Favorites are
listed on this opening screen, and you can use them to reconnect quickly to Bluetooth devices.

establish connections with Bluetooth devices,
shortcuts to those connections are saved on this
screen as “Favorites.”
To connect to a Bluetooth device, both devices must be turned on, must be within 30 feet (10 meters) of each other, and must be
“discoverable” (able to receive connections; see “Changing BTExplorer Settings”).

New Connection icon , or tap File and then New Connection. Then follow the instructions
given by the Bluetooth Wizard. Use the Wizard to explore services on other devices if you are not sure what type of connection you
want to create. Exploring services allows you to view all the Bluetooth devices in the area and what services they offer.
To explore services and create a new connection:
1. From BTExplorer, tap the New Connection icon
