Using Your Mac mini

Setting Up a Bluetooth Device

Before you can share files with other devices or use a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse,

you need to set up the device to work with your Mac mini. Once you’ve set up the

device, it is paired with your Mac mini and you can see the device in the Devices pane

of Bluetooth preferences. You need to pair your Mac mini with the device only once,

and the two devices remain paired until you delete the pairing.

To set up a Bluetooth device:

1

Choose “Set up Bluetooth Device” from the Bluetooth status (◊) menu in the

menu bar.

2

Follow the onscreen instructions for the type of device you want to set up.

Important:

If the Bluetooth status (◊) menu isn’t in the menu bar, open System

Preferences and click Bluetooth. Click Settings, and then select “Show Bluetooth status

in menu bar.”

To delete a pairing with a device:

1

Open System Preferences and click Bluetooth.

2

Click Devices, and select the device in the list.

3

Click Delete Pairing.
