so after researching my device and
pulling up the manufacturer's manual for
this
i need to put this headset into pairing
mode in pairing mode it will be able to
connect with our computer
so i have the power button here and
there's an indicator light i can press
and hold that power button
and according to my manual when the
light starts flashing red and blue
alternating then it's in pairing mode
there we go
it's red and blue now it's in pairing
mode and we can continue
by adding it to our computer
okay so to continue the bluetooth
headset is on and it's going to be in a
pairing mode
what i need to do now is click add
bluetooth or other device
when i click on that it wants to know
what type of device i'm going to be
adding on i'm going to click on
bluetooth because it's going to be an
audio device for a headset
