Life with Your Mac mini

Pairing Your Apple Remote

To make sure that your Mac mini can be controlled by only your Apple Remote, you
can “pair” them. This is helpful if you use your Mac mini where there are other Mac
computers, televisions, audio equipment, or other devices that use an infrared remote.

To pair the Apple Remote and your Mac mini:

1

Point the remote at the IR receiver on the front of your Mac mini from a distance of
3 to 4 inches (8 to 10 cm).

2

Press and hold the Right and Menu (») buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
After pairing, a chainlink (

) symbol appears onscreen.

To unpair the Apple Remote and your Mac mini:

1

Choose Apple () > System Preferences from the menu bar.

2

Click Security, and then click Unpair.

Replacing the Battery

The Apple Remote comes with a replaceable CR2032 battery.

To replace the battery:

1
