- Following installation, plug the dongle into a free USB port & start the BlueSolei program
Apple Macintosh Setup
The Macintosh OS X 10.2.8 or higher includes drivers and Bluetooth host support for the dongle. To install the dongle, plug it into a free USB port and reboot your computer. Following reboot, open the Bluetooth Preferences from the System Menu and ensure that Bluetooth is enabled.
