Magic Trackpad

The wireless Magic Trackpad uses Bluetooth® technology to connect to the Mac and comes with two AA batteries installed. To use the Magic Trackpad and its full features, update your Mac to Mac OS X version 10.6.4 or later, and then install the latest trackpad software using Software Update, if needed. Refer to the Magic Trackpad Quick Start Guide for more information.

Note: If for some reason the iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010) needs the system software reinstalled, pair the Magic Trackpad and then run Software Update. If for some reason you notice that only basic functionality is present on the Magic Trackpad, ensure that it’s paired correctly before launching Software Update. Refer to the following Kbase articles for more information.

About the Indicator Light

The indicator light displays the status of your Magic Trackpad and the batteries.

•When you first turn your trackpad on, the indicator light glows steadily for 2 to 3 seconds, indicating the batteries are good.

•If your trackpad isn’t paired with a Mac, the light blinks, indicating your trackpad is in discovery mode and ready to pair (pairing means connecting your trackpad and Mac to each other wirelessly).

•If you don’t pair your trackpad with your Mac within 3 minutes, the light and trackpad turn off to conserve battery life. Press the On/off button on your trackpad to turn it on again, allowing you to pair it with your Mac.

•When your trackpad is on and connected, the indicator light turns off.

Turn on the Trackpad

•To turn the trackpad on, press firmly and release the on/off button.

•To turn on the trackpad and make it stay in discovery mode (prevent auto-pairing to previous known host), press and hold the on/off button.
