AirPods are a popular wireless earphone that can be used with a variety of devices, including iPhones, iPads, Android phones, Windows laptops, and even some smart TVs. Here are the steps on how to connect AirPods to any device in more detail:
1. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
On your device, go to the settings for Bluetooth and make sure that Bluetooth is turned on. If you’re not sure where to find the Bluetooth settings, you can usually search for them in the device’s help menu.
2. Put your AirPods in pairing mode.
With your AirPods in the charging case, open the lid. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for about five seconds, or until the status light flashes white. The status light will flash white even if your AirPods are already paired with another device.
3. Select your AirPods on your device.
On your device, a list of available Bluetooth devices will appear. Select your AirPods from the list. If you’re using an iPhone or iPad, you may also see a prompt to “Pair AirPods.” Tap “Pair” to connect your AirPods.
4. Enter a passcode if prompted.
If your AirPods are paired with another device, you may be prompted to enter a passcode. The passcode is usually 0000 or 1111. If you don’t know the passcode, you can try resetting your AirPods.
