Welcome to the world of Bluetooth technology. Your computer includes Apple
Bluetooth 2.0+EDR technology that eliminates the need for many cables that
traditionally connect devices together. Bluetooth enabled devices, such as computers,
mobile phones, and handheld devices (PDAs), can connect to each other wirelessly at
distances up to 10 meters (33 feet).
The following sections provide information to:

Pairing Your Computer With a Bluetooth Enabled Mobile Phone
Before you can connect to the Internet using your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone,
you need to pair your computer with the phone. Make sure your phone is on and ready
to accept a pair. This is often called “discoverable” mode.

Click the Devices tab, and then click Setup New Device.

Follow the onscreen instructions.
Note:
To access the Internet, you must have a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone and
subscribe to data services from a wireless operator. Unless you subscribe to “always on”
data services (such as GPRS), you will also need an account with an Internet service
provider (ISP) to access the Internet. Check with your providers for more information.
