Bluetooth
This section outlines the instruction to pair a bluetooth device with your Chrome devices.
Bluetooth technology lets you connect devices wirelessly over short distances. To use the Bluetooth accessories with your
Chromebook, first check if your Chromebook supports Bluetooth. You will then need to pair it with the accessory.
To see if you can use the Bluetooth accessories with your Chromebook, click the status area in the lower right corner, where
your account picture appears. If you see the Bluetooth icon
you do not see either of these icons, your Chromebook does not support Bluetooth. If your Chromebook supports Bluetooth, it
can connect to a wide range of the Bluetooth accessories, including the following:
● Keyboards
● Mice
● Speakers
● Headphones
● Headsets (audio only)
To connect a Bluetooth device with your Chromebook, you need to pair them. Here is how:
1. Sign in to your Chromebook.
2. Click the status area in the lower-right corner, where your account picture appears.

5. Pick the device you want to add from the list of available Bluetooth devices and click Connect.
6. Follow the instructions on the screen to connect your Bluetooth device.

using your Chrome device's keyboard.
● If you are connecting a keyboard, enter the randomly generated PIN on the keyboard you wish to pair and press Enter.
To confirm that your Bluetooth device is connected, check the Bluetooth status. You should see your device listed there.
NOTE:
Just got your Chromebook or Chromebox? If you are turning on your chrome device for the first time and you have
a Bluetooth device nearby that is also turned on, your chrome device may automatically detect the device and show you
steps to pair it. You will see these instructions only if your chrome device does not already have a similar device connected
or its functionality is not built in, like a keyboard or trackpad.
