Introduction & Unboxing

When you first get your AirPods, there are a few things you need to do before you can start using them. First, you need to unbox them and charge the case. 

The case holds enough charge for multiple recharges, so you don’t have to worry about running out of power. Once the case is charged, open it and take out your AirPods. 

You’ll notice that there is a small light on the front of the charging case. This light will help you know when your AirPods are charging. If the light is red, then it means that they are charging. 

If the light is green, then it means they’re fully charged and ready to use. There’s also a Lightning cable inside the case.
