    Bluetake Bluetooth EDR USB Adapter (BT007Ex) Review - Installing the Adapter


    (Page 2 of 5 )

    Like most USB devices, the software has to be installed before we plug in the device. So, I stuck the CD into the drive and the autostart menu came up.

    The Quick Setup Guide is basically the same as the quick start sheet in the box, but the user’s manual has a lot more detail and shows everything you’d need to know. Of course, what I needed to do next was install the Bluetooth software. The process was well guided. It was not complicated, and there were no real options besides agreeing to a user agreement. The installer said it would take up to 15 minutes to install, but it finished in considerable less time for me.

    Part way through installation, a dialogue box popped up that said it was time to plug in the USB device. I plugged it in and a dozen New Hardware Found warnings from Windows XP popped up. The installer handled them all and closed them so that a user doesn’t have to worry about them or screw anything up. That was great, especially compared to some more confusing USB devices I have installed before. I don’t think that the installation process could have been any more painless, and there was really no way to make a mistake.

    Once all that was over, the installer informed me it was time to restart the computer. So, I restarted and then checked out the new icon in my system tray.

    Now it’s time to pair the computer with the headphones. Read on to find out how that goes.
