How do I activate blue tooth

I have just brought an HP Compaq Business Notebook nx6120 which according to the specs has bluetooth. However I have no idea how to activate or turn it on. I have the wifi running but not sure where to get the blue tooth activated as I dont know much about it.

Can someone help please?

Not much but I found something online that told me it should be listed in the device manager and it isnt. So I guess not all models ahve blue tooth installed even though the specs said it did.
But these days though it might be standard add on in one country but not included in price in another.

Well, it might be Bluetooth capable, and have the hardware to support bluetooth. Im sure that you can either download the software; or the software most likely came with the computer.

Found this in a an article:
"For networking, you have 802.11a/b/g wireless LAN, Gigabit Ethernet, a 56K modem and Bluetooth capability."

This link may aid you, u proly just need to download the drivers/software:

If you cant figure this out urself, email HP.
