As you are pairing a device with the laptop, make a note of the COM port number assigned to the device. You must use it when configuring FDM.
The following procedure provides an example of how to pair a Bluetooth device (a 900 MHz Belt-Clip Radio, in the example) with a laptop. It may vary somewhat from the procedure you will have to follow with the Bluetooth radio and software on your own laptop.
Note: You can also install a 900 MHz or Zigbee radio on a laptop as a USB device. See Connecting a radio to a computer's USB port.
