Allow detection

The Bluetooth in your device should not only be turned on but also be set and discoverable for other devices to detect it when searched for. This option can be accessed in the Bluetooth settings which will be in the control panel of your HP Mini 210. Setting the option as hidden will allow you to hide from unwanted connections from unknown devices and thus prevent intrusions.

Within the range

Bluetooth module integrated in the system is having a certain range of up to 10 meters within which it can establish connections and communicate with other compatible devices. The users of HP Mini 210 must make sure that the device you desire to connect your system with is within this range before starting to search and establish connection with it.

For some Bluetooth devices to make connections with others some kind of authorization like a pass code will be required. This setting which asks for an authorization can be turned on using the option in the Bluetooth settings menu. The process of accepting the connection by inputting the pass code is known as pairing and should be done by the users of HP Mini 210 to avoid unknown or unauthorized devices from making connections with your system.
