Using Bluetooth Wireless Technology

Your MacBook comes with Bluetooth wireless technology. With Bluetooth,

you can make short-range wireless connections between desktop and portable computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, camera phones, printers, digital cameras, and wireless input devices, such as the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless Mouse (available for purchase from the online Apple Store at www.apple.com/store).

Bluetooth wireless technology eliminates the need for many cables that traditionally connect devices together. Bluetooth enabled devices can connect to each other wirelessly at a distance of up to 33 feet (10 meters).

With Bluetooth wireless technology, you can do the following:

ÂUse your MacBook to communicate with a compatible Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. Your phone can act as a modem to connect you to a wireless service provider, at a speed of up to 56 kilobits per second (kbit/s), so you can use your mobile phone to access the Internet.

ÂSynchronize with your handheld Bluetooth enabled PDA. Using iSync, you can perform a HotSync operation without cables or send your business card or calendar events directly to a colleague’s PDA.

ÂExchange files between Bluetooth enabled computers and devices—even Mac to PC.

ÂUse a Bluetooth wireless printer, keyboard, mouse, or headset.
