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:
m
Use 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:
m
Open System Preferences and click Bluetooth, then click File Exchange.
