Help pairing a new Apple Pencil to an older IPad

I have the IPad Air 2. I have the newer Apple Pencil (it doesn’t say the generation on the website, just says “Apple pencil”). I have an Apple Pencil adapter.


I can’t find any information online how to pair this pencil with this iPad and I really don’t want to call Apple. Any help?

iPad Air 2

FYI,

No Pencils work with older iPad made before late 2015 and ealier.

The screen layer technology added to iPads that were made from late 2015 and later ( NOT including the 2017 5th gen iPad ) had not been developed and manufactured into older model iPads.


Sorry
