To put your AirPods in pairing mode, follow these steps:
1. Open the lid of your AirPods case.
2. Press and hold the button located on the back of the case.
3. Keep holding the button until the LED light on the front of the case starts blinking white.
4. Once the LED light is blinking, your AirPods are in pairing mode.
Now you can connect your AirPods to your device by going to the Bluetooth settings and selecting your AirPods from the available devices list. Make sure your device's Bluetooth is turned on.
It's important to note that AirPods can only be paired with one device at a time. To pair them with a different device, you'll need to unpair them from the current device first.
Pairing mode allows your AirPods to be discoverable by other devices, making it easier to connect them.
