Thanks! Looks like these are 2nd generation AirPods. according to this help article: Set up and use Notify When Left Behind in the Find My app - Apple Support


You need 3rd generation or newer: "For AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and AirPods (3rd generation), you need an iPhone 12 or later."


The help article here confirms it: "You can set up separation alerts for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 15, iPadOS 15, or later; Mac with Apple silicon and macOS Monterey 12 or later; or supported AirPods with the Find My network turned on."


"AirPods that support the Find My network

  • AirPods (3rd generation)
  • AirPods Pro
  • AirPods Max

For more information about how to turn on the Find My network for your AirPods, see Turn on the Find My network for AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max in the AirPods User Guide."


Thanks.
