TIPS
What does it mean to make a device discoverable?
This means that you configure the device to broadcast its availability for a Bluetooth con-
nection. Controlling the broadcast is important because you usually want to use a
Bluetooth device such as a mouse or keyboard with only a single computer.
What does pairing mean?
As a security precaution, many Bluetooth devices do not connect automatically to other
devices. This makes sense, because otherwise it means a stranger with a Bluetooth
device could connect to your cell phone or even your Mac Pro. To prevent this, most
Bluetooth devices require you to type a password before the connection is made. This is
known as
pairing
the two devices.
