    Hello Don,

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    To set up your new Magic Trackpad 2, please follow the steps below.

     

    Magic Mouse 2, Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad 2

    Follow these steps to set up your Magic Mouse 2, Magic Keyboard, or Magic Trackpad 2:

    1. Connect the Lightning to USB cable to the Lightning port on the device, and connect the other end of the cable to your Mac.
    2. Make sure the device's power switch is in the ON position. (Green will be visible.)
    3. The device appears in Bluetooth Preferences and automatically pairs with your Mac.
    4. The Bluetooth Preferences window shows the connection status and charge level of your device. When the device is charged, unplug it for wireless use.

    Note: Magic Mouse 2 can't be used while connected to the cable.

    Take care.
