48 Chapter 3 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:
1Choose “Set up Bluetooth Device” from the Bluetooth status (◊) menu in the
menu bar.
2Follow 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:
1Open System Preferences and click Bluetooth.
2Click Devices, and select the device in the list.
3Click Delete Pairing.
