How To Remove Your AirTag From Plastic Wrap
- Remove your AirTag from the box it comes in.
- Peel the plastic cover from the surface of your AirTag.
- Pull the plastic battery tab out of the AirTag to activate the battery. Your AirTag will make a noise when you do this.
What if my AirTag didn’t make a noise when I pulled the tab and some of the tab is still in the AirTag?
Hi Tina! If a piece of the pull tab is still in your AirTag, you can just remove the metal cover and battery from the back and pull the tab out by hand. Here’s a link to a video we published showing you exactly how to take apart and clean your AirTag: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSiCx8UNPJU&list=PLZ6vj1GD_4H4wVknWFi0yygdklLQ41NoJ
I hope this helps!
