Chapter 3 Using Your Mac mini 43
Using Bluetooth Wireless Technology
If you ordered Bluetooth technology when you purchased your Mac mini, it’s already
installed. With Bluetooth technology, your Mac mini can connect to other devices that
use Bluetooth wireless technology, such as mobile phones, PDAs, printers, and the
Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse (available for purchase at an Apple Authorized
Reseller, an Apple Store retail location, or from the online Apple Store at
www.apple.com/store).
Note: If your Mac mini doesn’t include Bluetooth technology, you can have it installed
by an Apple Authorized Service Provider or at an Apple Store retail location. You can
also purchase an external Bluetooth USB adapter from an Apple Authorized Reseller, an
Apple Store retail location, or from the online Apple Store at www.apple.com/store.
With Bluetooth wireless technology, you can do the following:
 Connect to mobile phones that have Bluetooth 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.
 Exchange files between Bluetooth enabled computers and devices, even Mac to PC.
Apple still recommends the use of AirPort Extreme wireless networking, however, for
anything but the smallest files.
 Synchronize data between your computer and a PDA that has Bluetooth technology.
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.
 Use a Bluetooth wireless keyboard or mouse or a Bluetooth headset.
 Print to a printer that has Bluetooth technology
 Use a Bluetooth headset.
