1. Turn on Your Cricut Explore Air 2: Press the power button on the front of the machine to turn it on.
2. Access Bluetooth Settings: Once the machine is on, navigate to the Bluetooth settings on your computer or mobile device. This process may vary slightly depending on the operating system you are using.
3. Search for Devices: In the Bluetooth settings, look for a section that allows you to search for new devices. This is usually labeled as “Add a Device” or “Pair a Device.”
4. Select Cricut Explore Air 2: From the list of available devices, select “Cricut Explore Air 2” or “Cricut Bluetooth Device.” If you don’t see it immediately, ensure that your machine is in Bluetooth pairing mode by pressing the Bluetooth icon on the screen.

7. Test the Connection: To ensure that the connection is working, try sending a design or cut file from your computer or mobile device to the Cricut Explore Air 2. If the machine receives the file and begins to cut, you have successfully connected.
Remember that Bluetooth connections can sometimes be interrupted by distance or interference from other electronic devices. If you experience issues, try moving closer to the machine or turning off other devices that may be causing interference.
