Using Bluetooth Wireless Technology

Your Mac mini comes with built-in Bluetooth wireless technology. Bluetooth lets you
make short-range wireless connections between 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 a distance of up to 10 meters (33 feet).

With Bluetooth wireless technology, you can do the following:
 Exchange files between Bluetooth enabled computers and devices, even Mac to PC.
 Synchronize data between your Mac mini and a Bluetooth enabled PDA or mobile

phone. 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 or mobile phone.

 Use a Bluetooth wireless printer, keyboard, mouse, or headset.
