Bluetooth headset disconnects over time

Short question: Is there a way to permanently keep the device connected?

Long version:
I'm connecting my bluetooth headset for use with TeamSpeak. It works fine as
an audio gateway, although I have to manually connect the device each time I
want to use it -- I must go to My Bluetooth Places in Windows, find the
scala-500 audio headset, and select Connect. The main problem is over time
it will just disconnect itself even while I'm using it. I have to go in and
do a little dance of disconnecting and reconnecting until it works again. Is
there a way to permanently keep the device connected?
