40 Chapter 2 Using Your Computer
Setting Up Bluetooth File Exchange
You can control how your computer handles files that are exchanged between
Bluetooth devices. You can choose to accept or refuse files sent to your computer,
which folder to use for the files you accept from other devices, which folder other
devices can browse, and which applications to use with the files you accept.
To set up a Bluetooth file exchange:
1 Open System Preferences and click Bluetooth.
2 Click Sharing.
3 Select the On checkbox for Bluetooth File Exchange, and use the pop-up menus to
adjust the settings.
Sending a File to a Bluetooth Device
Your computer can send files to other Bluetooth devices in range of your computer. If
you are not paired with the device, you may have to authenticate with it before you
can send the file. If you have already paired with the device, you may not have to
authenticate.
To send a file to a Bluetooth device:
1 Choose Send File from the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.
2 Select the file you want to send and click Send.
3 Choose a device from the Device list and click Send.
If the device is not in the Device list, click Search. When the device is found, you can
add it to your Favorites list.
For More Information on Bluetooth Wireless Technology
If your computer came with a built-in Bluetooth module, you can get help 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 website at www.apple.com/bluetooth.
Note: If you did not order a Bluetooth module with your Power Mac G5, you can have
one installed by an Apple Authorized Service Provider or at an Apple Retail Store.
Bluetooth modules are not user-installable.
You can also purchase an external Bluetooth USB adapter from your Apple Authorized
Reseller, an Apple retail store, or online from the Apple Store at www.apple.com/store.
Putting the Computer to Sleep to Save Energy
Power Mac G5 computers are set to go to sleep after a period of inactivity. Sleep is a
state in which your computer uses very little power. You can also put the computer to
sleep whenever you want to.
