- If your **AirPods aren't connected** to your iPhone, you can use your [Mac](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12464/what-is-mac-o-s) to connect them.

   - Open the cover of your **AirPods** case with your AirPods inside.
   - **Hold down the setup button** on the case's rear until the status light turns white.
   - Choose **Apple menu** > **System Preferences,** then Bluetooth on your Mac.
   - In the Devices list, **choose AirPods.**
   - If your AirPods support it, **click Enable** to start utilizing Siri with your AirPods by saying 'Hey Siri.'
   - If you're asked how you'd want to enhance Siri and Dictation, **choose one of the following options:**
   - Audio recordings should be shared: Allow Apple to save the audio of your Siri and dictation interactions on this **Mac by clicking Share Audio Recordings.** Apple may examine a sample of audio that has been saved.
   - Audio recordings should not be shared: **Not Now is selected.**
