Installation and Pairing
Note: It is crucial that preexisting Bluetooth software on the host computer be disabled prior to installing and operating the provided software. Failure to do so may result in reduced functionality or a failure by the computer to recognize the software correctly. If a “Product Key” is requested while operating the software, this is due to a conflict with the provided software and preexisting Bluetooth software.
- Insert the driver CD and run the “setup.exe” driver file in the BlueSoleil10 folder to start the installation.
Note: If your computer does not have a CD drive, you can download the driver file at www.tripplite.com/support.
- Follow all on-screen instructions and prompts displayed by the Install Wizard.
- When prompted with a “Restart System” message, click Yes.
- Once your system restarts, insert the Bluetooth adapter into an available USB port on your computer or laptop.
- A Desktop Icon will appear for the BlueSoleil software. Click on the icon.
Note: If no desktop icon appears, go to the start menu to access the software.
- When the BlueSoleil main screen displays, click the orange ball in the middle of the screen to search for Bluetooth devices. When found, the Bluetooth device will display as an icon orbiting the orange ball.

- To begin the pairing process, double-click on the device icon you want to access. Follow the prompts.
Note: In some cases, you may need to establish a trusted relationship between BlueSoleil and the Bluetooth device by entering the same password on both the software and the device. On BlueSoleil, enter a password in the “Passkey" field when the “Enter Bluetooth Passkey” window displays.
- After a successful pairing, a mark will appear beside the paired device icon. A dotted line will appear between the orange ball and the device to confirm a successful Bluetooth connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What if another third-party Bluetooth application or driver is already installed on my system?
- A: Any built-in Bluetooth functionality must be disabled and any third-party Bluetooth applications should be uninstalled or disabled prior to installing BlueSoleil.
- Q: Can I install BlueSoleil from a source other than the included CD or download from the Tripp Lite website?
- A: No. The only authorized BlueSoleil application approved for use with the U261-001-BT4 must come from the CD or be downloaded from tripplite.com. Downloads/installations from other sources, including the BlueSoleil website, will require an activation code that must be purchased from BlueSoleil. The installation files on the included CD/tripplite.com download are already activated and authorized for use with the U261-001-BT4.
- Q: Is it okay if I modify the BlueSoleil application?
- A: It is recommended that you do not modify the application in any way. The BlueSoleil application allows you to modify settings, but doing so in some cases may create issues with using the U261-001-BT4.
- Q: Is connecting and pairing a one-step process?
- A: The connecting/pairing process with BlueSoleil may require additional steps. Please see the support document for more detail.
