How to Connect a Motorola S10


Turn off any other devices that you have previously paired with the headset. Leaving these devices active may prevent the headset from pairing properly with your computer. Press the S10-HD's power button in the center of the headset to turn on the device.
Check that the headset's status light is blue, indicating that the device is fully charged. If you need to charge the headset, connect one end of the S10-HD's USB cable to the port near the center of headset, and then connect the remaining end of the cable to one of the USB ports on the left side of the MacBook Pro.
Log into your MacBook Pro and find the Bluetooth icon on the right side of the menu bar. Click on the icon to open the 'Bluetooth' menu. Check that Bluetooth is on and the 'Discoverable' setting is enabled.
Select the 'Set Up Bluetooth Device...' option from the Bluetooth menu. This will open the 'Bluetooth Setub Assistant' window, displaying a list of any active Bluetooth devices that your MacBook Pro is able to detect. Select the SD10-HD from the list of devices. Click 'Continue' to pair the headset with your computer.
Click on the icon of an apple on the right side of the menu bar. Open the 'System Preferences' window and click on the icon labeled 'Sound.' Browse the settings labeled 'Output' and 'Input' and select the SD10-HD as the designated device on both screens. Put on the headphones and click on the volume slider to test the volume.

How to Troubleshoot a MacBook Boot Problem


Disconnect any external devices and peripherals from the computer. Press the power button. If there is no response, proceed to Step 2.
Locate the small battery meter on the left side of the MacBook where the ports are located. Press the small button to the left of the LEDs. If they do not light up, the issue may be a dead battery. Connect the computer's power supply and press the power button. Proceed to Step 3 if the computer does not boot up.
Disconnect the power cable and wait a minute before reconnecting it. Press the power button. A small LED on the tip of the power cable should light up when connected. If not, remove the plug and check the power port for debris or dust. Gently blow air into the port and into the plug connector and reconnect it.
Hold down the 'Command' key, the 'Ctrl' key and the power button at the same time for three seconds. A chime or tone should emit from the computer before it starts up. If not, proceed to Step 5.
Press the power button and immediately hold down the 'Command/Option' key, the 'P' key and the 'R' key at the same time until you hear at least two instances of the chime or tone.
Disconnect the power cable and turn the laptop over if it still does not turn on. Remove the battery. On early 2009 and older MacBooks, locate the coin-slot locking mechanism and turn it with a coin until the battery pops up. On mid-2009 onward MacBooks, remove all of the backing screws and lift off the back. Locate the battery and use the pull tab to lift the battery out of the compartment.
Hold down the power button for five seconds after the battery is removed. You should hear a long tone that lasts a few seconds. Replace the battery and power supply and press the power button once more.
