Targus Bluetooth 4.0 Micro USB Adapter not working on Fedora 20

[Steven Ulrick]

I just rebooted and logged in, just to see what would happen.  My
headphones were still shown in the KDE system tray Bluetooth applet.
But, no sound.  No suprise.  So, I opened a terminal, ran
"bluetoothctl" and this is what came up:
steve at afolkey2 ~$ bluetoothctl
[NEW] Device **:**:**:**:**:** Philips SHB7000

So, still in "bluetoothctl" I entered "connect **:**:**:**:**:**"  The
result? The headphones work as desired.  So, all I have to do when I
reboot and log back in is run "connect **:**:**:**:**:**" while in the
bluetoothctl shell. That sounds fine to me!

Thank you,
Steven P. Ulrick
