Using Bluetooth Devices
If you purchased a Bluetooth
®
module, your iBook G4 can connect to and transfer
information wirelessly to devices that use Bluetooth wireless technology, such as cell
phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs). Bluetooth wireless technology can help
eliminate the need for the cables that traditionally connect devices together. Devices
with Bluetooth wireless technology can connect to each other wirelessly within a
10-meter (33-foot) range.
Bluetooth wireless technology devices include:
• Computers
• Cell phones
• Peripherals (keyboard, mouse, and so on)
• PDAs
With Bluetooth wireless technology, you can do the following:
• Use your iBook G4 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 small 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.
For More Information on Bluetooth Wireless Technology
You can get help using Bluetooth wireless technology by opening the Bluetooth File
Exchange application (located in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder) and
choosing Help > Bluetooth Help. You can also find information on the Apple Bluetooth
website at www.apple.com/bluetooth.
