Chapter 3 Using Your Mac mini 39
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 Mac mini 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 Mac mini:
1 Move very close to your Mac mini (within 3 to 4 inches).
2 Point the Apple Remote at the front of your Mac mini.
3 Press the Next/Fast-forward (‘) and Menu (») buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
When you’ve successfully paired your Apple Remote with your Mac mini,
a chainlink ( ) symbol appears onscreen.
To delete a pairing between the Apple Remote and your Mac mini:
1 Choose Apple () > System Preferences from the menu bar.
2 Click Security and then click Unpair.
Turning Off IR Reception
Use Security preferences to turn IR reception on or off.
To turn off IR reception:
 Choose Apple () > System Preferences from the menu bar and click Security.
 Select the “Disable remote control infrared receiver” checkbox.
