Check for Bluetooth Low Energy support

There are two ways to check if your computer supports Bluetooth Low Energy (also called Bluetooth 4.0 or later):

For a list of Logitech Bolt devices this article applies to, please scroll to the end of this article. 

Use Logitech Options Software to check

You can use Logitech Options to find out if your computer supports Bluetooth Low Energy technology. If you don’t have Logitech Options+ software installed, you can download it.  

After you’ve installed Logitech Options+, open it, and in the lower right corner, click Add Devices. In the Add a device window, in the right pane under Set up a Bluetooth device, you should see a message letting you know whether or not your computer supports Bluetooth Smart devices.

If your computer doesn’t support Bluetooth Low Energy, you can still use your device using Logitech’s Unifying technology. Click Add Unifying Device and follow the on-screen instructions.
