To pair, the device prompts you to read a code from the AirID and enter it into the connected device or compare it with the code displayed on the device. |
The pairing failed.
For AirID FIDO BADGE, the reasons for a failed pairing can be:
- Time out: waiting too long to confirm the pairing code on host device and AirID
- Aborting pairing process on host device
- Selecting "No" for pairing code confirmation on AirID
