Reconnecting Headphones to iPhone

Once synchronized, the AirFly will remember your AirPods or headphones and connect to them when the device is activated. To switch back to using your AirPods or headphones with your smartphone or tablet, deactivate the AirFly first. On your device, open Bluetooth settings and select your headphones from the list. The status will change from "Not Connected" to "Connected" once the headphones are paired with your device.

Charging AirFly

To charge, simply connect the included USB-C to USB-A cable to the AirFly and then to any powered USB port. The AirFly will be fully charged within 2 hours.

The internal battery of the AirFly lasts approximately 20 hours. Twelve South recommends charging the AirFly before its first use. If your AirFly is low on power, it will flash orange 3 times to alert you that it needs to be charged soon.

While charging, the AirFly will illuminate orange and remain lit. Once fully charged, the orange indicator light will turn off. If desired, the AirFly can remain plugged in and charging while in use.

Tips and Tricks

1. If only one AirPod seems to be playing audio, deactivate and then reactivate the AirFly. This will resynchronize the AirFly and reconnect both AirPods.
2. If you wish to pair a new set of headphones to the AirFly, or if you are having difficulty connecting to your current headphones, reset the AirFly by pressing and holding the Reset button on the side of the AirFly for 4 seconds. Once reset, the AirFly will flash yellow 4 times and then enter Pairing Mode.
