2 Connecting with Bluetooth - Interoperability of Logitech
products
This section describes the way Logitech products can work together.
2.1 What Bluetooth devices can I connect to the Bluetooth wireless hub from
Logitech?
Any device compatible with the Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR specification and featuring one or more of
our supported profiles will work with our Bluetooth wireless hub. In addition, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR
is backwards compatible with previous Bluetooth generations (1.0 or 1.2), meaning you can still
connect your older Bluetooth devices.
Please refer to our currently supported devices (www.logitech.com/bluetooth/howto
).
2.2 I have a system with Bluetooth built-in. Can I use Logitech products
without limitation?
We assume that you are enjoying your Bluetooth experience on your PC or notebook and you wish
to continue. For this reason we will NOT install our Bluetooth stack when another Bluetooth stack is
detected. However, the keyboard and mouse will be fully functional, working in "embedded mode"
(e.g. the Bluetooth software required for your keyboard and mouse is "embedded" in the Bluetooth
wireless hub). If you want to connect additional Bluetooth devices to your computer, such as a
mobile phone, you will have to use your existing Bluetooth solution.
2.3 I have a system with Bluetooth built-in (e.g. a laptop). Can I use the
Logitech Bluetooth keyboard or mouse without using the Logitech
Bluetooth wireless hub?
We have provided our keyboard and mouse with the Bluetooth wireless hub mini-receiver because
very few computers are Bluetooth enabled and we want to provide the best Bluetooth experience to
our customers. However, if you already have a system (typically a laptop/notebook) with built-in
Bluetooth and the HID profile, you can directly connect the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, without
using our Bluetooth mini-receiver.
However:
• You need to first pair the keyboard and mouse with the laptop Bluetooth stack.
• If your system is using a different Bluetooth stack than the one supplied with Logitech
products, you may not be able to enjoy the features of the Logitech Bluetooth wireless hub.
2.4 I have a laptop with Bluetooth built-in. What should I do?
The MX 5000 Laser and diNovo Laser have been optimized to work with any laptop with built-in
radio using WIDCOMM stack v.1.4.2.21 or above and Windows XP SP2 stack. This means our
software ("SetPoint") will recognize your configuration and offer a special installation, allowing you
to enjoy the features offered by your Logitech Bluetooth product in conjunction with your laptop.
Note:
You may need to upgrade your system to the latest Bluetooth stack available for your
laptop. Please refer to your laptop manufacturer’s support documentation for more
information.
