iguring out how to use your AirPods isn’t the eas-

iest thing; there’s no display and no buttons or

dials, either. We’re here to help with this collection

of tips designed to help you use Apple’s wireless

earbuds to their full capacity.

PAIR YOUR AIRPODS TO AN

IPHONE & APPLE WATCH

• Make sure you are signed into your
  iCloud account on your iPhone.


• Navigate to the Home screen on your
  iPhone, then bring the AirPods close to
  your phone; they should be in their case,
  with the case open.


• A screen asking if you’d like to connect
  your AirPods to your iPhone will appear; tap Connect,
  then tap Done to complete pairing your AirPods to your
  iPhone (any Apple Watch connected to your phone will
  automatically pair with your AirPods too).

NOTE FOR SECOND-GENERATION AIRPODS:

• Apple’s latest AirPods come with support for hands-free
  Siri. If you’ve already set up “Hey Siri” on your iPhone,
  then you’ll automatically be able to use this feature with
  your AirPods. If you haven’t, instructions will appear on
  your phone.

BATTERY LIFE & CHARGING

HOW TO CHECK

YOUR AIRPODS’

CHARGE STATUS

You can ask Siri, “Hey Siri,

what’s the battery level on

my AirPods?” You can also

check the charge status of

your AirPods and their case

manually. To do this:

• Your AirPods must be
  connected to the device
  you’re using to check their
  charge status.


• Open your AirPods case
  with your AirPods inside;
  hold the open case near
  your iOS device.


• The battery levels of
  both your AirPods and
  their charging case will
  appear on screen.
