1. On the EV3, first verify that Bluetooth is powered on. In brickman
264+
open the *Wireless and Networks* menu and select *Bluetooth*. Make sure the
265+
*Powered* checkbox is checked. (The *Visible* checkbox doesn't matter)
266+
The Bluetooth icon next to the battery in the status bar also indicates
267+
that Bluetooth is powered on.

2. On your host computer, go to: *Start* > *Settings* > *Devices* > *Bluetooth*. Turn Bluethooth *On*.
272+
It should look like this:

275+
276+
3. On the EV3, select *Start Scan* on the *Bluetooth* menu. It should find your
277+
computer. (This could take a while)
278+
279+
{% include /util/screenshot.html source="/images/brickman/bluetooth-powered-my-computer.png" %}
280+
281+
4. Select your computer from the menu and then select the *Pair* button.
282+

283+
*System* > *About*. Here your *PC name* should be listed) On the your
284+
host computer click on ev3dev and then select the *Pair*
285+

7. Select *Connect* here. You can also check the box for *Connect automatically*.

This way you don't have to connect manually after you reboot.
302+
303+
{% include /util/screenshot.html source="/images/windows/10/bluethooth-connected-ev3dev.png" %}
304+

306+
307+
{% include /util/screenshot.html source="/images/brickman/networking-my-computer-0-connect-selected.png" %}
308+
309+
8. *State* should change to *Online* to indicate that the EV3 has an
310+
Internet connection. (This could take a little bit longer.) Now you can
311+
see the IP-address of the EV3 in the status bar. It should be something
312+
like *192.164.137.3*.

{% include /util/screenshot.html source="/images/brickman/networking-my-computer-0-disconnect-selected-online.png" %}
