STEP 4
Start pairing
Tap Pair new device.
The pictured page says Bluetooth will turn on to pair.
STEP 5
Choose your headphones
Wait for your headphones to appear, then tap their name. Follow any confirmation prompt for your own accessory.
The available device in this picture is a Motorola phone. Your headphones should appear under their own name; do not pair an unfamiliar device.
STEP 6
Check pairing and sound
Look for your headphones in Connected devices, then play some audio and check you can hear it through them.
The example Motorola phone is now under Saved devices. This shows a saved pairing, not a live headphone connection or sound test.
IF SOMETHING LOOKS DIFFERENT
A little help along the way.
Your menus may look different after an update. Look for the same control name and take your time.
I cannot find that option+
Check that this guide covers your device and software. If the names do not match, use the manufacturer’s instructions linked below for your model.
I need to go back a step+
Use Previous step or select a step number above. This changes the guide only; it does not undo anything on your device.
Are these pictures of my device?+
They are example screens showing exactly where to tap. Your names, apps, wallpaper and layout may look a little different, but the options you need are the same. Some pictures show what you should see after a step.
