Useful Tips
Tip 1: If only one of your AirPods is playing audio, turn the AirFly device off and then on again. This will resynchronize the AirFly, and both AirPods should reconnect.
Tip 2: If you wish to pair new earbuds with your AirFly device or are having trouble connecting your earbuds, reset the AirFly Duo by pressing and holding the reset button on the side of the AirFly Duo for four seconds. After resetting, the device's LED will blink amber four times and then enter pairing mode.
