To manually connect your AirPods to your iPhone, follow these steps:
1. Make sure your AirPods are in the charging case: Before you begin, ensure that your AirPods are correctly placed in the charging case. The LED light on the front of the case should indicate that they are charging.
2. Open the charging case: Gently open the lid of the AirPods charging case. The case should now be open, revealing your AirPods nestled snugly inside.
3. Hold the charging case next to your iPhone: Take the open charging case and hold it next to your iPhone. Ensure that the two devices are close to each other, ideally within a few inches of each other.
4. Look for the setup animation on your iPhone: Once the charging case is positioned next to your iPhone, you should see a setup animation appear on your iPhone’s screen. This animation is an indication that your iPhone has detected the AirPods and is ready to establish a connection.
5. Tap “Connect”: On your iPhone screen, you will see a prompt that says “Connect.” Simply tap on this button to initiate the connection process.
6. Follow any additional prompts: Depending on your iPhone model and iOS version, you may be prompted to perform additional actions or settings. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection process.
7. Enjoy your AirPods: Once the connection is established, you can now enjoy using your AirPods with your iPhone. You can listen to music, make phone calls, or use Siri hands-free through your AirPods.
Tip: If you don’t see the setup animation on your iPhone, make sure that your iPhone’s Bluetooth is turned on and that it’s in close proximity to the AirPods. Additionally, ensure that your AirPods are charged and functioning properly.
