Setting Up a Bluetooth Device

Before you can use a Bluetooth device with your MacBook Pro, you need to set up the

device to work with your computer. After you set up the device, it is “paired” with your

computer, and you can see it in the Devices pane of Bluetooth preferences. You pair

your computer with the device only once, and they remain paired until you delete the

pairing.

To set up a Bluetooth device:

1

Choose Bluetooth (◊) status menu > Set up Bluetooth Device.

2

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

Important:

If the Bluetooth (◊) status menu is not in the menu bar, open System

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

in the menu bar.”

To delete a pairing with a Bluetooth enabled device:

1

Open System Preferences and click Bluetooth.

2

Click Devices and select the device from the list.

3

Click Delete.
