Chapter 3

Using Your Computer

With Bluetooth wireless technology, you can do the following:
 Use your Mac mini 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 PDA. Using iSync, you can perform a hot sync operation

without cables or send a business card or calendar events 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.

Important:

To ensure you have an adequate Bluetooth signal, don’t place anything on

top of your Mac mini. Objects placed on top of the computer can cause interference.

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.
