Introduction Bluetooth is an open specification for a cutting-edge technology that enables short-range wireless connections between desktop and laptop computers, personal digital assistants, cellular phones, printers, scanners, digital cameras and even home appliances — on aglobally available band (2.4GHz) for worldwide compatibility. In a nutshell, Bluetooth unplugs your digital peripherals and makes cable clutter a thing of the past. Now you can connect your PDA or PC to Bluetooth™ enabled mobile phone with this Bluetooth™ adapter. You can access e-mail & Internet no matter where you are with just a little help from your Bluetooth™ mobile phone. Plus, when you are back in the office, you can hook yourself up to your office network as well as communicate with other Bluetooth™-enabled devices. 3
