Your AirPods Max are now in pairing mode. ([upphone.com](https://www.upphone.com/learn/how-to/devices-lh/airpods-devices-lh/put-your-airpods-max-in-bluetooth-pairing-mode/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### If You Need to Reset / Factory Reset First\n\nSometimes putting them in pairing mode by itself doesn\u2019t work\u2014e.g., if they\u2019re still connected to another device or something is blocking the process. In that case, try this:\n\n- **Press and hold both** the **Digital Crown** and the **Noise Control button** (both are on the right ear cup together).  \n- Hold for about **15 seconds**, until the status light changes from flashing amber to flashing white. Then let go. This resets the AirPods Max and puts them back to their unpaired state. ([support.apple.com](https://support.apple.com/en-us/119838?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf pairing still fails, double-check the device you\u2019re trying to connect from:\n\n- Are Bluetooth settings turned on there?  \n- Is the AirPods Max already connected somewhere else which might be interfering?  \n- Is the battery of the Max charged? A low battery can sometimes prevent pairing or resetting.\n\nIf you tell me what device (phone, computer, etc.) you\u2019re trying to pair with, I can give you steps specific to that too."
