Bluetooth Wireless Technology
Your iMac G5 comes with Bluetooth wireless technology installed. Bluetooth lets you
make short-range wireless connections between desktop and portable computers,
personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, camera phones, printers, digital
cameras, and wireless input devices, such as the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple
Wireless Mouse (available for purchase at www.apple.com/store).
Bluetooth wireless technology eliminates the need for many cables that traditionally
connect devices together. Bluetooth enabled devices can connect to each other
wirelessly at distances up to 10 meters (33 feet).
With Bluetooth wireless technology, you can do the following:
 Use your iMac G5 to communicate with a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. 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 Bluetooth enabled 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.
 Use a Bluetooth wireless keyboard or mouse.
 Print to a Bluetooth printer.
 Use a Bluetooth headset.
