2. Download and install the latest Apple Bluetooth firmware update - currently at version 1.2
3. Apple Wireless Keyboard Users - Install Apple Wireless Keyboard Firmware update 1.1
The Apple Wireless Mouse Firmware Update is not needed, nor will it update the BT500.
Note: Downloading the updates does NOT install them
You must launch the updater(s) from your "Utilities" folder to install.
4. Un-check "Discoverable" in the Bluetooth System Preferences if you're not using it.
5. If you've installed any Mac OS updates via the Software Update mechanism, install the appropriate
Combined Update for your OS version - Issues have been identified in the Software Update versions.
Links to the Apple Combined updates are available at: www.radtech.us/Products/BT500.aspx
6. Remove potentially corrupted Bluetooth preference file if Bluetooth useability issues persist:
Locate and delete the file named: com.apple.Bluetooth.plist - trash file and restart computer.
The path to this file is: /Users/"your home folder"/Library/Preferences.
All Bluetooth devices will need to be paired again, and please check #4 above.
7. Unexplained BT issues / erratic device behavior can often be resolved by simply removing the
offending device's pairing, then pairing again.
8. Apple BT Keyboard Users - To prevent the erroneous "Connection Lost" messages.
Once all Bluetooth devices you are going to use have been paired, power down all devices.
Turn Keyboard on first, wait 20 seconds, then turn other devices on.
Most people leave their Bluetooth keyboards on 24/7, and this is fine.
Other Bluetooth devices may be switched off and on at will in this case.
If the keyboard is switched off for any reason, turn all BT devices off, then power-up keyboard first.
