I've only done this once so I might make a mistake or two in telling you what to do here but I'll give it a try.
Go into system preferences under hardware and look for bluetooth settings. In there, you should find something to look for available devices; this will work much the same way as pairing up a bluetooth keyboard. Once you see the track pad listed and press the button to pair the device, following the spoken instructions. I think you are asked to press down on the track pad so it will make the physical click. Of course, the track pad has to be turned during this drill. If you are doing this on a Mac mini and you don't have any other pointing devices connected to it, The machine will most definitely tell you if the track pad is missing (turned off). But once paired up and all that, you should be able to move your finger around on the pad to see if you get any responses. that's about all you can do to tell if it is connected. Hope this helps.
