5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Adapter Not Working / Driver Error

If your Bluetooth adapter is not functioning correctly or you encounter a driver error, especially on Windows 10:

    1. Right-click on the Start button and select Device Manager.
    2. Expand the Bluetooth section.
    3. Locate any existing Bluetooth adapters (e.g., "Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth").
    4. Right-click on the built-in adapter and select Disable device.
    5. Unplug the Zexmte Bluetooth USB Adapter, then re-plug it into a USB port.
  • Reinstall Drivers: If disabling the built-in Bluetooth doesn't work, try reinstalling the drivers as per Section 2.3.

  • In-Car Use: The adapter is not supported for use in vehicles.

5.3 Connection Range

The adapter offers a long-distance range of 20-100 meters in an open environment. However, the actual connection distance can be significantly affected by physical obstacles (walls, furniture) and interference from other wireless devices (Wi-Fi routers, microwaves).
