Pairing the TP-BT with Windows 11 may require additional steps due to its classification under the “Other Devices” category in the Bluetooth device list.
By default, Windows 11 prioritizes commonly used Bluetooth device categories, such as headsets, printers, and input devices (e.g., mice and keyboards), while “Other Devices” remain hidden. To successfully pair the TP-BT, navigate to the Bluetooth settings and manually expand the list of “Other Devices.” Once expanded, the TP-BT will appear and can be selected for pairing.
