Prepare Your Galaxy Buds
To successfully put your Galaxy Buds into pairing mode, it’s crucial to ensure that they are adequately prepared. Here’s a step-by-step guide to assist you:
1. Check Battery Level
Before initiating pairing, verify that both earbuds and the charging case have sufficient battery life. A drained battery can hinder the pairing process and result in unexpected disconnections during use.
2. Clean Charging Contacts
Inspect the charging contacts on both the earbuds and the charging case. Any debris or dirt buildup can obstruct proper charging and hinder the earbuds from powering on. Use a clean cloth or compressed air to gently remove any accumulated residue.
3. Reset the Galaxy Buds
If previous pairing attempts have failed, consider resetting your Galaxy Buds. Locate the reset button on the charging case and press and hold it for approximately 10 seconds. This operation will clear any existing pairing information and restore your Galaxy Buds to their factory settings.
4. Open Charging Case
To enter pairing mode, the charging case must be open. Carefully lift the lid of the case and make sure that both earbuds are securely seated in their designated slots. The earbuds will automatically power on when the case is opened.

Once the charging case is open and the earbuds are powered on, observe the LED indicator light on the front of the case. A flashing blue light signifies that the Galaxy Buds are ready to be paired with a Bluetooth device.
