Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)
Welcome to the world of Bluetooth. Your computer includes Apple Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
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).

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 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.

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.
Open Bluetooth File Exchange, located in Applications/Utilities.
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.
