1 1 Apple AirPort Extreme and Apple Bluetooth 2.0+EDR AirPort Extreme offers the easiest way to provide wireless Internet access and networking anywhere in the home, classroom, or office. Apple Bluetooth 2.0+EDR can eliminate the cables that traditionally connect devices together. This document provides overview information about AirPort and Bluetooth technology. For more detailed information, open Mac Help from the Help menu, and choose AirPort Help or Bluetooth Help from the Library menu. AirPort Extreme Instead of using traditional cables to create a network, AirPort uses wireless local area network (LAN) technology to provide wireless communication between computers. Through a wireless network you can access the Internet, share files, play multiplayer games, and more. Using AirPort technology, you can:  Create a wireless network in your home or school using an AirPort Extreme Base Station, then connect to the Internet and share the connection among several computers simultaneously. An entire family or classroom can be on the Internet at the same time.  Set up a wireless connection to your standard computer network. AirPort-equipped computers can then have access to an entire network without being connected with a cable.  Connect multiple computers in a wireless “Computer-to-Computer” network so that you can share files or play network games. 2 To start using AirPort, open System Preferences and click Network. Choose AirPort from the Show pop-up menu, and then select “Show Airport status in the menu bar.” Use the Airport status icon in the menu bar to join a wireless network, create a Computer-to- Computer network, and turn AirPort on and off. Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) 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:  pair your Macintosh with a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone and connect to the Internet  exchange files between Bluetooth enabled devices 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. 1 Open System Preferences and click Bluetooth. 2 Click the Devices tab, and then click Setup New Device. 3 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. Connecting to the Internet 1 Open Internet Connect, located in the Applications folder. 2 Choose Bluetooth Modem Adapter from the Configuration pop-up menu, then click Connect. 3 Exchanging Files Between Bluetooth Enabled Devices You can use the Bluetooth File Exchange application to exchange files between one or more Bluetooth enabled devices. You can also use Bluetooth File Exchange to browse remote devices. Make sure the devices you want to exchange files with are in discoverable mode. 1 Open Bluetooth File Exchange, located in Applications/Utilities. 2 Select the files you want to send and click Send. 3 Select a device from the Device list and click Send. If the device you want to send the file to is not listed, click Search to find Bluetooth enabled devices in range. 4 If you are asked for a passkey, enter one and click Respond. If the device receiving the files is prompted for a passkey, enter the same passkey on the receiving device and click Respond. 5 If the receiving device is prompted that it is receiving a file, click Accept to receive the file. Depending on the options selected, you may be asked if you want to open the file. For more information on Bluetooth technology, choose Bluetooth Help from the Help menu, or go to www.apple.com/bluetooth. Communications Regulation Information FCC Declaration of Conformity This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. See instructions if interference to radio or television reception is suspected. Radio and Television Interference The equipment described in this manual generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with Apple’s instructions—it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. You can determine whether your computer system is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer or one of the peripheral devices. If your computer system does cause interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures: • Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops. • Move the computer to one side or the other of the television or radio. • Move the computer farther away from the television or radio. • Plug the computer into an outlet that is on…

RF Exposure Info

RF Exposure Calculation The following calculation is based on guidelines published in OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C, Edition 01-01, August 1997: Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. The power density is given as: Power Density = PG / ∏•r^2 where P = Maximum Transmitter Output Power, P = 25.25 dBm (peak), P = 335 mW G = Antenna Gain, G = 2.62 dBi, G = 1.8 (linear) r = distance from antenna Using the general population - uncontrolled Maximum Power Density limit of 1mW / cm^2 at a distance of 20 cm as given in OET Bulletin 65 Power Density = 335 • 1.8 / ∏•(20^2) Power Density = 0.48 mW / cm^2 which is under the limit of 1 mW / cm^2. The User Manual contains the following statement: This device should be operated with a minimum separation of at least 20 cm between the Airport Extreme Card antennas and a person’s body and must not be co-located or operated with any other antenna or transmitter.
