Click the Bluetooth icon and then click the device to see its current battery level.
If you use multiple Bluetooth devices of the same type, the list of Bluetooth devices can get confusing because
you don't have any direct way to tell one from another. To avoid this, you can often give your devices unique
names (although not all Bluetooth devices support renaming). Here are the steps to rename a Bluetooth device:
1. Click the Dock's System Preferences icon.
The System Preferences window appears.
2. Click the Bluetooth icon.
The Bluetooth preferences appear, as shown in Figure 2.13, and you see a list
of the Bluetooth devices currently paired. The status of these devices shows on the left as Connected. Those
that were paired in the past show as Not Connected.
3. Click the device you want to rename.
4. Click the Actions button (the gear icon) and then click Rename.
System Preferences displays a text
box.
5. Type the new name and then click OK.
System Preferences updates the device's name. This name is
stored on the device, so you see it even if you pair the device with another computer.
