Air Tag Connection

Hi JdhND71,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! If you are unable to set up your AirTag, the steps from the article below may help:

Set up your AirTag using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you can't set up your AirTag

1. Make sure that your device is ready for setup.

2. If the setup animation disappeared, press the side button or Sleep/Wake button on your iPhone to put your device to sleep. Then wake and unlock your iPhone. Wait up to 15 seconds, and the animation should reappear. 

3. If you have multiple AirTags to set up, make sure that only one is near your device at one time.

4. Remove and then replace the battery in your AirTag.

5. If your AirTag still won't connect to your device, reset your AirTag. 

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
