OS X Mavericks: Use an Apple wireless keyboard, mouse, or trackpad
An Apple wireless keyboard, mouse, or trackpad uses Bluetooth to communicate with your Mac.
- Make sure the device you’re setting up has charged batteries and is turned on.
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Keyboard, Mouse, or Trackpad.
-
If you’re setting up a mouse or trackpad, follow the onscreen instructions. When your mouse or trackpad is discovered, it automatically pairs with your Mac.
-
If you’re setting up a keyboard, click Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard, then follow the onscreen instructions to pair with your keyboard.
-
Keep these things in mind when using an Apple Bluetooth device:
-
Your Bluetooth device comes with AA batteries included. Your Bluetooth software warns you when the batteries are running low, but it’s a good idea to have a spare set of batteries available.
-
If you won’t be using your Bluetooth device for an extended period, turn it off to maximize battery life. To turn it off, use the on/off switch.
