Steps

  1. Right-click the Windows logo at the bottom left of your screen and choose Settings from the menu that opens.

  2. In the Settings window, click Bluetooth and devices in the left sidebar, then open the Devices page.

  3. Check that the Bluetooth switch is turned on. If your PC has no Bluetooth at all, plug in a USB Bluetooth adapter first.

  4. Click Add device and pick Bluetooth from the list of options. Windows starts scanning for nearby devices.

  5. Open the charging case with both earbuds inside and set it close to the computer. Wait a few seconds to see if the earbuds appear in the list on their own.

  6. If nothing shows up, press and hold the button on the case for about two seconds until you hear a beep. That puts the earbuds into pairing mode.

  7. Find HUAWEI FreeClip 2 in the list of available devices and click it to start connecting.

  8. Wait while Windows sets the earbuds up, then play a short sound to confirm the audio is going to them.

Tips and common mistakes

Keep the case open and near the PC during pairing, since a closed case can drop the connection.

Turn Bluetooth off on your phone first, or the earbuds may connect to it instead of the computer.

If the earbuds connect but you hear nothing, set them as the default output device in the Windows sound settings.

Questions

Right-click the Windows logo and choose Settings, then click Bluetooth and devices. On Windows 10 the same page is called Bluetooth and other devices.

How do I put the HUAWEI FreeClip 2 into pairing mode?

Open the case with the earbuds inside and hold the button on the case for roughly two seconds until you hear a beep. They then show up in the Windows device list.

The earbuds never appear in the list. What should I check?

Make sure Bluetooth is on and the case is open. If your PC has no Bluetooth module, plug in a USB Bluetooth adapter and try the scan again.
