air tag reset
I used the instructions provided to reset two air tags but a third tag will not respond. when the battery is pressed down into the cavity, no sound is made. what other alternatives do I have to activate the air tag?

Greetings ric284,
It sounds like you are unable to set up an AirTag. We know how important having a working AirTag is for you, and you’re in the right place for answers.
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.
Learn what to do if you see a message that says the AirTag is connected to another Apple ID.
* Warning: AirTag, the battery cover, and the battery might present a choking hazard or cause other injury to small children. Keep these items away from small children.
