It sounds like almost certainly the Mac is looking for a Bluetooth device, either a magic trackpad, wireless mouse or Bluetooth keyboard.
In theory these devices should already be paired if you have bought this Imac from Apple. Have you tried the keyboard? Specifically using control option left and right arrow to read the dialogue box? Starting with the keyboard, if it is wireless, check that the batteries are inserted so that the keyboard can communicate with the Imac. Once this is done then use VO right and left arrow to see if you can navigate around the dialogue box to see what the message refers to. If it is a magic Trackpad issue then you need to unscrew the battery plug at the end of the circular foot under underneath the track Pad and insert the batteries here also. The batteries, to my mind are inserted counter intuitively on the Magic Trackpad. That is the pointed end of the batteries point towards the springed interior of the Trackpad. I do not use a wireless mouse or keyboard so I cannot give full instructions here. This is one of the reasons I preferred the wired extended Apple keyboard as you have guaranteed connection, extra USB Ports and extended keyboard for using numpad commander. Opinions vary but I would give serious thought to getting an extended keyboard with a numpad as this revolutionises the ease with which Voiceover can be used with an Imac. Purely personally I also purchased an old style chunky Imac wired keyboard as opposed to the thin modern version as I found this vastly more comfortable to type on.

All systems are go. Well, all most. When I turned it on, it asked me to select country. Now I'm stuck. Every time I turn on Mac, it shows me pictures of how to install batteries. How do I buy pass this screen, and continue setting up the machine?
