Hello captronB2,
Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. Sounds like you are having trouble pairing an AirTag.
According to the article you found: How to reset your AirTag - Apple Support
"When the sound finishes, repeat the process four more times, removing and replacing the battery, then pressing down on the battery until you hear a sound. You should hear a sound each time you press on the battery, for a total of five sounds. The fifth sound is different from the previous four. This indicates that the AirTag is now ready to pair."
This suggests if you hear more than 5 beeps in a row and didn't hear a different sound on the 5th beep, you would want to repeat the full process of resetting the AirTag until you do.
We hope this helps.
Cheers!
