36 Chapter 3 Using Your iMac
Pairing Your Apple Remote
If you have multiple computers or other devices with built-in IR receivers in a room
(for example, more than one iMac in a home office or lab), you can “pair” your Apple
Remote with a specific computer or device. Pairing sets up the receiving computer or
device so it’s controlled by only one remote.
To pair your Apple Remote with your iMac:
1Move very close to your iMac (within 3 to 4 inches).
2Point the Apple Remote at the Apple logo on the front of your iMac.
3Press and hold the Next/Fast-forward and Menu buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
When you’ve successfully paired your Apple Remote with your iMac, a chainlink ( )
symbol appears onscreen.
