For Cricut enthusiasts, Explore Air 2 is a worthwhile machine to step into the crafting realm and make eye-catching DIY projects. Offering multiple device compatibility allows crafters to create pro-level crafts, from customized hoodies to door signs and banners. Plus, before creating any projects, it is necessary to perform the Cricut Explore Air 2 Bluetooth setup on a mobile or computer.
But most new crafters don’t know the procedure. In this blog, I will explain the proven and simple methods to complete the connection process on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android to streamline the process for you.
The following methods will allow you to complete the Bluetooth connection process of your Explore Air 2 machine on a Windows and Mac computer.
Firstly, ensure that the distance between your machine and the computer device is not more than 10-15 feet.
Also, ensure that your computer is compatible with Bluetooth connectivity. Otherwise, you need to use a dongle.
From the Start menu on your PC, go to the Settings window.
On the open page, select the Devices option.
Next, click on the Bluetooth toggle if it is not on and then select the option of “+ Add Bluetooth or other device.”
When the Add a device page appears, then select the Bluetooth option and choose your machine’s name. (Note: the following image is only for illustration purposes.)
Afterward, you may see a prompt on the screen asking you to enter the PIN; type 0000 and click on the Connect option.
Finally, your Cricut Explore Air 2 Bluetooth connection to your computer device will be complete.
Initially, keep both your devices within the range of 10-15 feet.
Next, click on the Apple menu icon and click on the System Preferences option.
Once the System Preferences window appears on the screen, click on the Bluetooth option.
If you find the Bluetooth toggle off, click on it to turn it on.
From the list of devices, click on the Pair option next to the machine model number you are using.
If it asks you to type PIN, then enter 0000 and click on Pair.
Now, the Bluetooth connection of both devices will be complete.
After that, to complete the setup process for your crafting machine, download the Design Space app. You can download the software from the official brand website to your device.
The follow-up methods will allow you to complete the Bluetooth connection of your Explore Air 2 machine to an Android and iOS device.
Before starting the connection process, make sure that both devices are within Bluetooth range, and then turn them on.
From the home screen, open Settings and then tap on Bluetooth on the next screen.
Tap on the Bluetooth toggle to turn it on; now, your iOS device will search for nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Look for your machine’s name in the results and select it. (You can see your machine below to learn its model number.)
When you are prompted to enter the PIN, type 0000 and tap on the Pair option on the upper right side.
Now, the Cricut Explore Air 2 Bluetooth pairing will be complete.
Begin by tuning on both of your devices and keeping them within the Bluetooth range.
Tap on the Settings icon on the Android home screen and choose the Bluetooth option.
Then, if you find your Bluetooth option off, tap on its toggle to turn it On.
When you see a list of Bluetooth devices on the screen, tap on your machine. (You can check the model name of your machine by checking its bottom or sides)
Enter 0000 when you are prompted to enter the PIN, and then select Pair.
Now, the Bluetooth pairing of both devices will be complete.
