Charging AirFly
To charge, simply plug the included USB-C to USB-A Charging Cable into AirFly, and then into any powered USB port. AirFly is fully charged within 2 hours.
The internal battery of AirFly lasts about 20 hours. It is recommended to fully charge AirFly before using it for the first time.
If your AirFly is low on power, it will flash amber 3 times to alert you that it needs to be charged soon.
While charging, the AirFly will illuminate in amber and stay on. Once fully charged, the amber light will turn off. AirFly can remain plugged in and charging while in use.
Tips & Tricks
- If only one AirPod seems to be playing audio, turn AirFly off and back on. This will re-sync AirFly and should reconnect both AirPods.
- If you want to pair a new set of headphones to AirFly, or are having trouble connecting to your headphones, reset AirFly by pressing and holding the Reset button on the side of AirFly for 4 seconds. Once reset, AirFly will blink amber 4 times, and then will go into Pairing Mode.
