A user is attempting to connect their new wireless headset to their laptop for an important video conference. They have turned on the headset and are now trying to pair it with their laptop. Which of the following steps should they take to ensure the laptop's Bluetooth is enabled and ready to pair with the wireless headset?
Reboot the laptop and press the key to enter the BIOS/UEFI settings to enable the Bluetooth hardware.
Access the Bluetooth settings on the laptop and turn on Bluetooth, then select the headset from the list of discoverable devices.
Go to the laptop's network settings and connect to the Wi-Fi network with the same name as the headset to enable Bluetooth pairing.
Hold down the wireless function key (often marked with an antenna icon) on the laptop's keyboard to initiate Bluetooth discovery mode.
To pair a Bluetooth device, Bluetooth must be enabled on the laptop. The user should access the Bluetooth settings through the operating system's control panel or settings application. From there, they can switch Bluetooth on if it is not already active, after which the laptop will begin to search for available Bluetooth devices. When the laptop discovers the headset, it can be selected and any necessary pairing instructions followed. Accessing the BIOS/UEFI settings or pressing the wireless function key on the keyboard would not enable the Bluetooth within the operating system, which is where the pairing process is initiated and managed.
