Apple AIRPODS-2 user manual

1. Connecting AirPods to iPhone: First, make sure that you have Bluetooth switched on at your iPhone. Open the lid of the charging case that your AirPods are in. You'll see a prompt appear on your iPhone's screen asking if you'd like to connect the AirPods. Tap 'Connect'.
2. Play or Pause Audio: You can double-tap on either of the AirPods to play or pause your audio content.
3. Skip Forward: To skip forward, you will triple-tap on either of your AirPods.
4. Skip Backwards: To skip backward, it involves triple-tapping either of your AirPods.
5. Adjust Volume: Volume can be adjusted through your iPhone's volume control buttons or the volume slider in Control Center.
6. Use Siri: The 2nd gen AirPods support “Hey Siri” so you can initiate Siri by saying “Hey Siri” while your AirPods are in your ear.
7. Change Double-tap Action: Go to Settings on your iPhone, select 'Bluetooth' and tap the 'i' icon next to your AirPods. Here, under the 'Double-Tap on AirPod' section, you can select what control you want the double-tap feature to have.
8. It's also worth noting that when you take out one of the AirPods from your ear, the music or audio will automatically pause. When you put it back in, the audio resumes.
Remember that you need to be on iOS 12.2 or later to have access to all of these features.

The button on the back of the AirPods 2 is called the setup button. It is used for various functions, such as pairing the AirPods with your device, activating Siri, or controlling audio playback.

To control your AirPods 2, follow these steps:
1. Play or Pause: Double-tap on either of the AirPods to play or pause audio.
2. Skip Forward: Double-tap on the right AirPod to skip to the next track while listening to music or podcasts.
3. Skip Backward: Double-tap on the left AirPod to go back to the previous track.
4. Activate Siri: Double-tap on either AirPod to activate Siri. You can ask Siri to control volume, change tracks, make calls, and more.
5. Answer or End Calls: To answer calls, simply double-tap on either AirPod. To end or decline a call, double-tap again.
6. Switch between Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Transparency Mode: If you have AirPods Pro, you can switch between ANC and Transparency Mode using the Force Sensor on the stem of each AirPod. Press and hold the Force Sensor until you hear a chime to switch modes.
7. Control Volume: The AirPods 2 do not have built-in volume controls, so you'll need to use your device (iPhone, iPad, etc.) to adjust the volume.
8. Automatic Ear Detection: AirPods 2 have automatic ear detection, which means they pause audio when you remove them from your ears and resume when you put them back in.
Remember that you can customize some of these controls by going to the Bluetooth settings on your connected device and selecting "AirPods" from the list of paired devices. There, you can adjust settings like double-tap actions, enable/disable automatic ear detection, and more.
