How do I pair with the Bluetake BT500 Bluetooth mouse?

  1. From the desktop, press Alt+F2 to launch the Run Application window.
  2. Type: gnome-terminal then press Enter. Gnome Terminal will display.
  3. At the terminal prompt, type: sudo gedit /etc/default/bluez-utils then press Enter. Gedit (simple text editor) will open and display the bluez-utils file.
  4. Locate the line: HIDD_ENABLED=0 and change it to: HIDD_ENABLED=1.
  5. Place the mouse in discoverable mode by pressing the grey button on the bottom (the scroll wheel will light-up blue).
     Try replacing the batteries if the wheel does not light-up.
  6. Return to the terminal and type: sudo hcitool scan then press Enter. The result should be similar to: 00:0A:3A:06:96:B4 BT500
  7. In the terminal, type: sudo hidd --connect 00:0A:3A:06:96:B4 and press Enter.
     You must ensure that the device is still discoverable. The mouse should now be paired.
