Apple Bluetooth

Welcome to the world of Bluetooth. Your computer
includes Apple Bluetooth technology that eliminates the
need for many cables that traditionally connect devices
together. 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).

This document provides information on how to

•

pair your Macintosh with a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone and connect to the
Internet

•

exchange files between Bluetooth enabled devices

Pairing Your Computer With a Bluetooth enabled
Mobile Phone

Before you can connect to the Internet using your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone,
you need to pair your computer with the phone. Make sure your Bluetooth enabled
mobile phone is on and ready to accept a pair. This is often called “discoverable” mode.
Open System Preferences and click Bluetooth.

Click the Devices tab, and then click Setup New Device.

Follow the onscreen instructions.

Note: To access the Internet, you must have a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone and

subscribe to data services from a wireless operator. Unless you subscribe to “always on”
data services (such as GPRS), you will also need an account with an Internet service
provider (ISP) to access the Internet. Check with your providers for more information.

Connecting to the Internet

Open Internet Connect, located in the Applications folder.

Click Bluetooth in the Toolbar, and choose a configuration from the pop-up menu. If
there are no configurations, choose Edit Configurations from the pop-up menu, and
enter the information you received from your provider, such as the phone number, user
name and password.

Choose the model of your phone from the Modem pop-up menu.

Click Connect.

Exchanging Files Between Bluetooth enabled Devices

You can use the Bluetooth File Exchange application to exchange files between one or
more Bluetooth enabled devices. You can also use Bluetooth File Exchange to browse
remote devices.

Make sure the devices you want to exchange files with are in discoverable mode.

Choose Send File from the Bluetooth menu in the menu bar. If the Bluetooth menu is
not in the menu bar, open System Preferences, click Bluetooth, and select the “Show
Bluetooth status in the menu bar from the Settings pane.”

Select the files you want to send and click Send.

Select a device from the Device list and click Send.

If the device you want to send the file to is not listed, click Search to find Bluetooth
enabled devices in range.

If you are asked for a passkey, enter one and click Respond. If the device receiving the
files is prompted for a passkey, enter the same passkey on the receiving device and
click Respond.

If the receiving device is prompted that it is receiving a file, click Accept to receive the
file. Depending on the options selected, you may be asked if you want to open the file.
