Apple Bluetooth

Welcome to the world of Bluetooth™, a short-range wireless technology that lets you connect

computers, mobile phones, and handheld devices to each other and to the Internet. Your

computer includes Bluetooth technology that can help eliminate the need for the cables that

traditionally connect devices together. Bluetooth-enabled devices can connect wirelessly to

each other anywhere in a 10-meter (33-feet) range, unlike connections between infrared (IR)

devices, which must be in line with each other to connect.

New features in Apple Bluetooth software allow you to connect to more devices easier,

extending the ways you can use and conﬁgure Bluetooth technology.

This document provides information on how to

connect your computer to Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and other devices.

Connecting Bluetooth devices is known as pairing.
