Figure 9 Choose Connect Bluetooth from the Modem menu.
If the menu isn’t showing (I suggested adding it, if you recall, in the preceding section), do this:

Figure 10 If you didn’t enable the Modem menu, you’ll have to connect from within the Network preferences pane.
While you’re connected, you should see connection status information in the menu bar near the Modem menu (if it’s showing) or in the Network preferences pane. When the connection has been established, the status area will indicate the amount of time you have been connected (see Figures 11 and 12).

Success!
