TT-BA07 Taotronics won't pair with AirPods Pro

Thank you. Success, but not following the advice. First, I followed the instructions and "forgot" the AirPods Pro on all Apple devices, and then followed the TT instructions for pairing. I tried 4 times. Each time the same problem: there is *some* communication, because when I open the AirPods Pro case, the TT stops flashing blue/red within 5 seconds, but then it continues to flash blue and the AirPods case continues to show white -- the pairing process never completes. So, they see each other, they try to pair, and something derails completion. This is why I wondered about the possibility of a new security implementation on the AirPods side.

Then I thought I'd try checking that the TT knows how to pair successfully with other devices: I paired it in RX mode to my Mac no problem. Then I switched back to TX mode, tried the AirPods pairing, and instant success!

So the fix in this case -- apparently -- is to clear everything, then pair the TT in RX mode to something else, then switch back to TX mode and try pairing to AirPods.
