Cricut Joy Machines Bluetooth Pairing

1. Ensure Cricut Joy machine is powered on and within 10-15 feet of your computer. 
2. Most computers are Bluetooth-enabled. However, to determine whether your computer is Bluetooth-enabled, right click on the Start button and select Device Manager.
   
   
3. If Bluetooth is listed, your computer is Bluetooth enabled. If not, you will need to purchase a USB device called a Bluetooth Dongle to enable your computer to talk to other Bluetooth devices.
   
   

Note: We have learned that CSR (Cambridge Silicone Radio) Bluetooth Dongles do not work with Cricut machines. If you need a Bluetooth dongle for your computer, we suggest acquiring one that supports audio devices. We cannot guarantee that all dongles will pair with Cricut machines, but those that support audio devices are often able to pair successfully.
