    Press and hold the button on your headphones for 4 seconds. A light in the middle will turn solid to indicate that your headphones are now in pairing mode, which is necessary for Windows to detect them via Bluetooth.
  6. 6
    Select your headphones in the Bluetooth menu. Once you activate pairing mode, an icon with the name of your headphones will show up in the menu listing Bluetooth devices available for connection.
    • Make sure your PC has Bluetooth enabled before putting your headphones into pairing mode. To do this, go to Settings, select Devices, and click on the Bluetooth and other devices option in the menu pane on the left side to pull up the Bluetooth switch. Toggle it to on if it isn’t already on.
    • If there isn’t any Bluetooth switch visible in the Bluetooth and other devices menu, then you may need to open the Bluetooth troubleshooter (Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Bluetooth > Run the troubleshooter) to check if your PC has Bluetooth capability. If not, then you’ll need to go to your PC manufacturer’s website and search for updated drivers that enable Bluetooth support.[1]
  7. 7
    Click on the name of your headphones. This will complete the connection process and, once done, the Bluetooth search menu will close and your Jaybird headphones should be paired with your PC.
