How to ping lost AirPods 5 to locate them?

Hi, I was just given an airpod 5 as a gift. I can not find it and noticed it did not connect to "Find My" app.


I need help on how to ping the lost Airpods to locate it.

If the AirPods are not shown in the Find My devices list, then they cannot be located or a sound played, and were either not added to the Apple Account, or have since been removed from the account.
