64 Chapter 3 Using Your MacBook Pro
Using Bluetooth Wireless Technology
Your MacBook Pro comes with Bluetooth wireless technology. With Bluetooth,
you can 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 from the online Apple Store 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 of up to 33 feet (10 meters).
With Bluetooth wireless technology, you can do the following:
 Use your MacBook Pro to communicate with a compatible 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.
 Synchronize with your handheld Bluetooth enabled PDA. Using iSync, you can
perform a HotSync operation without cables or send your business card or calendar
events directly to a colleague’s PDA.
 Exchange files between Bluetooth enabled computers and devices—even Mac to PC.
 Use a Bluetooth wireless printer, keyboard, mouse, or headset.
