</span>It shows up as this:<br>
<br>
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0a5c:21e8 Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth 4.0<br>
<br>
I don't remember the brand name, but can try to look it after I get<br>
back from a meeting.<br>

I have to reset it, and sync it from a local profile, and re-pair it when I get it back home. Logi is working on that as well though - just mentioning that in case other people do what I do too..</div><div style="font-family:monospace,monospace" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:monospace,monospace" class="gmail_default">-Greg<br></div><br></div></div>
