I don't know anything about this bt device, I have
$ lsusb | grep -i bluetoo
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth
Dongle (HCI mode)
I can say following as general instructions:
Have you seen the kernel drivers loaded?
$ lsmod | grep bt
btusb 36864 0
btrtl 16384 1 btusb
btbcm 16384 1 btusb
...
etc
Have you installed all related packages? Following should be ok.
$ dpkg -l | grep blue
ii blueman 2.0.4-1
amd64 Graphical bluetooth manager
ii bluez 5.43-2
amd64 Bluetooth tools and daemons
ii bluez-firmware 1.2-3

ii bluez-obexd 5.43-2

ii bluez-tools 0.2.0~20140808-5+b2

ii libbluetooth3:amd64 5.43-2

you then either use blueman-applet (with gui) or bluetoothctl (command
line). Notice here the firmware package - either unplug/plug the device or
driver reload is required to load the firmware after installation.
there are plenty of howtos for both of them on the net
write back if you have further questions
