Setting Up a Bluetooth Device
Before you can use a Bluetooth device with your MacBook, 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 Set up Bluetooth Device from the Bluetooth () status menu.
2 Follow the onscreen instructions for the type of device you want to set up.
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 the menu bar.”
To delete a pairing with a device:
1 Open System Preferences and click Bluetooth.
2 Click Devices and select the device in the list.
3 Click Delete.
