Computers Bluetooth USB Adapter Problem with v551

I bought a bluetooth usb adapter today for my v551 motorola phone. I went through all the instructions, installed the drivers cd which I read on some googled page that really I didn't need because I have windows xp. The thing is, I got one thing to plug into my usb spot, and a usb cable, which I guess is used for other bluetooth devices?

The thing is, my bluetooth device is plugged in, it says everything is working, but it just won't read my phone. I use the search function find new devices, nothing.

So, what's wrong? Do I need something to upgrade my phone? The device should locate and react to all bluetooth devices within a 65 foot area.

Even if someone finds any pertinent info on this problem, I'd be in his/her debt.

 

Thanks Teddz, I just figured it out, it's kind of stupid that no where in the manual. I had to turn I had to go to Setting/Connection/ Bluetooth/ Handsfree/ Look for Devices/'My Computer Name/Handsfree .. I get connected on for a fe seconds, it says it's connected to the headset service.. ? oh well.. at least I'm further ahead than I was when I first posted..

edit: I get connected through My Headset, the phone had to be close to the device, or the signal is too weak and I get kicked off, but then I placed it very close,t he signal was good, but I got disconnected again.


edit: Okay! I went through Control Panel, to Bluetooth Configuration/ Accessibility, there I clicked 'Allow: Only devices listed below' Then the computer started browsing, so I clicked 'Find Me' on the phone, 'Motorola Phone' popped up, and I clicked 'add device' so I thought that was that eh?

Didn't work til I went to the BT system tray icon near my clock. I right clicked it, and went to 'Quick Connect' file trasnfer, search device.. it was then it asked for a PIN so the computer could bond with the phone. So I punched something I made up, the Cell phone made a loud beep asking for verification to bond and wanted the PIN I just made on the computer.

Then after that, three folders appeared, audio, picture and video.

Thanks for the help Teddz, letting me know about the phone set-up.
If anyone else gets one of these.. ya.. my instruction manual was 2 small pages long.. nothing about computer or phone setup!

 

Personally, I just connect my RAZR via USB. It's faster, and it does a good job of recharging the phone while putting media in it. =]

But, yes, enabling bluetooth was no where in my manual either, so when I got my BT Headset, I kinda had to wing it. =P

 

It's funny though, since I knew what to do, I bonded another cell phone to the computer in less than 5 minutes. What a Pain!!!
