Using Bluetooth Devices
Your PowerBook comes with integrated Bluetooth technology that can help eliminate the
need for the cables that traditionally connect devices together. Bluetooth-enabled devices
can connect to each other wirelessly within a 10-meter (33-foot) range.
Bluetooth devices include:
m Computers (Mac to Mac)
m Cell phones
m Peripherals (keyboard, mouse, etc.)
m Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)
With Bluetooth you can do the following:
m Communicate with your handheld PDA. You can perform a HotSync operation without
cables or send your business card or calendar events directly to a colleague’s PDA.
m Transfer files between computers, even Mac to PC, using the transfer utility. Apple still
recommends the use of AirPort wireless networking, however, for anything but the
smallest of files.
m Use your PowerBook to communicate with your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone. You
can also use your computer to respond to voice calls. Your phone can act as a modem to
connect you to a wireless service provider, at speeds of up to 56 Kbps, so you can use
your mobile phone to access the Internet.
For More Information on Bluetooth
You can get help using Bluetooth by opening the Bluetooth File Exchange application
(located in Applications/Utilities) and choosing Help > Bluetooth Help. You can also find
