    All,

    I bought a XPS M140 with integrated Bluetooth. I have a Motorola RAZR V3 and a Jabra BT130 headset.

    I was thinking connecting these 3 devices would be a breeze, but I was wrong.

    When I run the Bluetooth Manager on the M140, it fails to detect my phone or the headset.

    Could anyone please instruct me step-by-step how can I setup these 3 devices.

    Thanks Much

    Both need to be discoverable. Each will have a different process to turn that on.

    Is there a set of instruction on how to do this?? I checked in the cellphone manaul but there is not much detail.
    As far as the notebook is concerned I will have to contact Dell support.


    THanks

    I have a similar Jabra heasdet. There should be a button to put the headset in discoverable mode. Refer to the Jabra instruction manual. Also, if you dont have the manual, try holding down the "call" button for a few seconds until the LED light status changes
