  1. On your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
  2. Make sure that your Beats are connected to your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

  4. Place both earbuds in the case, then close the lid.
  5. Keep your Beats in Bluetooth range of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, then wait at least 30 minutes for the firmware to update.
