Installing/Uninstalling Logitech desktop for Bluetooth on my computer 

 

My computer has Bluetooth

®

 support 

built-in. What should I do? 

If your computer has existing Bluetooth

 support, we recommend that you 

use both this and the Logitech wireless hub. When you do this: 

• 

Your Logitech HID

3

 devices (mouse, keyboard, and MediaPad

2

) connect to 

your computer through the Logitech wireless hub. All advanced features such 
as hot keys and LCD displays are available.  

• 

Other Bluetooth

 devices are still able to connect to your computer through 

your built-in Bluetooth

 

port.  

• 

The Logitech Mobile Phone Suite is not available.  

To use both your existing Bluetooth

 support and the Logitech wireless hub, you 

should install the SetPoint software as usual. When you install the software, the 
installation routine detects an existing Bluetooth

 stack. This stack remains intact. 

The stack included with SetPoint is not installed. 

Other options that are available to you if your computer has Bluetooth

 support 

built-in are: 

• 

Use just your computer’s existing Bluetooth

 support. See page 

11

 

• 

Disable your computer’s existing Bluetooth

 support and use just the Logitech 

wireless hub. See page 

12

.

 The HID service is used to connect control devices such as your mouse and keyboard to your computer 

using Bluetooth

. If your stack does not support the HID service, you won’t be able to use your mouse or 

keyboard with your built-in module.
