Bluetooth Wireless Technology
If your iMac G5 has the optional Bluetooth module, you can connect to devices that use Bluetooth wireless technology, such as mobile phones, PDAs, printers, and the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless Mouse (available for purchase at www.apple.com/store).
With Bluetooth wireless technology, you can do the following:
•Use your iMac G5 to communicate with a mobile phone equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology. Your phone can act as a modem to connect you to a wireless service provider, at speeds of up to 56 kilobits per second (kbit/s), so you can use your mobile phone to access the Internet.
•Communicate with your handheld PDA. Using iSync, you can perform a hot sync operation without cables or send your business card or calendar events directly to a colleague’s PDA.
•Transfer files between computers, even Mac to PC, using the transfer utility. Apple still recommends the use of AirPort Extreme wireless networking, however, for anything but the smallest files.
•Use a Bluetooth wireless keyboard or mouse.
To set up a Bluetooth device:
mUse the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, located in the Applications/Utilities folder on your hard disk.
You can also choose “Set up Bluetooth Device” from the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.
Setting Up Bluetooth File Exchange
You can control how your computer handles files that are exchanged between it and other Bluetooth devices. You can choose a folder for the files you accept from other devices, a folder for other devices to browse, and which applications to use to open the files you accept.
To set up a Bluetooth file exchange:
mOpen System Preferences and click Bluetooth, then click File Exchange.
