Introduction

Bluetooth is an open specification for a cutting-edge technology that enables short-range
wireless connections between desktop and laptop computers, personal digital assistants,
cellular phones, printers, scanners, digital cameras and even home appliances — on a
globally available band (2.4GHz) for worldwide compatibility. In a nutshell, Bluetooth
unplugs your digital peripherals and makes cable clutter a thing of the past. Now you can
connect your PDA or PC to Bluetooth™ enabled mobile phone with this Bluetooth™
adapter.

You can access e-mail & Internet no matter where you are with just a little help from your
Bluetooth™ mobile phone.
Plus, when you are back in the office, you can hook yourself up to your office network as
well as communicate with other Bluetooth™-enabled devices.
