Setting Up Bluetooth Connections

Bluetooth enabled devices, such as computers, mobile phones, and handheld devices (PDAs), can connect to each other wirelessly at distances up to 10 meters (33 feet).

To set up a Bluetooth device to work with your computer:

1Make sure you have a Bluetooth module installed in your computer or a USB Bluetooth module connected to your computer.

2Open System Preferences and click Bluetooth.

3Click Set Up New Device.

4Choose the type of device you want to set up and follow the onscreen instructions.

Sending a File to a Bluetooth Enabled Device

Your computer can wirelessly send files to other Bluetooth devices in range of your computer. If your computer is not paired with the device, you may have to enter a password on both devices to pair.

If you have already paired with the device, you may not have to enter a password again.

To send a file to a Bluetooth enabled device:

1Open the Bluetooth File Exchange application, located in Applications/Utilities.

2Choose File > Send File, select the file you want to send, then click Send.

3Choose a device from the Device list and click Send.

If the device is not in the Device list, click Search. When Bluetooth File Exchange finds the device, you can add it to your Favorites list.

Use the File Exchange pane of Bluetooth preferences to set options for how your computer handles files exchanged with other Bluetooth devices.

You can also send a file by choosing Send File from the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.

For More Information on Bluetooth Wireless Technology

You can get help using Bluetooth wireless technology by opening the Bluetooth File Exchange application (located in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder) and choosing Help > Bluetooth Help. You can also find information on the Apple website at www.apple.com/bluetooth.
