To connect your AirPods to a dead case, you can follow these steps:

1. Locate the settings on your iPhone or iPad: On your home screen, look for the “Settings” app. It usually has a gear icon.

2. Make sure the AirPods case is open and near your device: To establish a connection, you need to have the AirPods case open and within close proximity to your iPhone or iPad.

3. Press the “Connect” button: In the settings menu, scroll down and tap on the “Bluetooth” option. This will bring up a list of available Bluetooth devices.

4. Look for your AirPods on the list: Within the Bluetooth menu, you should see your AirPods listed as an option. It may be labeled with the name you assigned to them during setup.

5. Tap on your AirPods to connect: Once you find your AirPods on the Bluetooth device list, tap on them to initiate the connection process.

6. Follow the on-screen instructions: A guide will appear on your screen, providing instructions on how to set up your AirPods. It may ask you to press the button on the back of the AirPods case or place them near your device.

7. Complete the pairing process: Follow the instructions on the screen until you see a “Done” message. This indicates that the pairing is complete.
