181 Exploring Your Options Exchanging data with another computer Using Bluetooth The following information applies to those systems with the optional Bluetooth wireless feature: Bluetooth is a technology that expands wireless communication beyond networking equipment, and can connect many different kinds of electronic devices without the need for cables. Bluetooth uses the 2.4 GHz frequency band for wireless communications. Bluetooth can transmit at data rates up to 1 MBit/sec. The range (through walls and floors) of the wireless transmission is up to 100 feet. If your computer is equipped with Bluetooth, and you want to enable the Bluetooth module: 1 Flip the wireless antenna on/off switch to the on position. The antenna is enabled. 2 Hold down the function key (Fn) and press F8 until the Bluetooth icon is highlighted. 3 Release the keys. Bluetooth is now enabled.
