Questions & Answers

It is crucial that pre-existing Bluetooth software on the host computer be disabled and/or uninstalled 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 either a conflict with the provided software and pre-existing Bluetooth software, or a failed installation. The computer should be restarted following installation of the included BlueSoleil software.

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.

It is recommended that you do not modify the application in any way. The BlueSoleil application allows you to modify settings, but doing so may, in some cases, create issues with using the U261-001-BT4.
