Setup

Charging the Headphones

Before initial use, fully charge your headphones. Connect the micro-USB charging cable to the charging port on the inline control unit and plug the other end into a USB power source. The LED indicator on the control unit will show the charging status. A full charge typically takes approximately 2 hours.

Connecting to an Audio Source

The AS400 Sportz 3 headphones utilize a wired connection. Insert the 3.5mm audio jack from the inline control unit firmly into the headphone port of your audio device (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player, computer).

Operating Instructions

Wearing the Headphones

Place the flexible band behind your head, ensuring the transducers rest comfortably on your cheekbones, just in front of your ears. Adjust the position for optimal sound and comfort. The open-ear design allows you to remain aware of your surroundings.

Audio Playback and Controls

Use the inline control unit to manage your audio. The control unit typically includes buttons for:

• Volume Up/Down: Adjust the listening volume.
• Play/Pause: Start or stop audio playback.
• Track Skip: Advance to the next track or return to the previous one (functionality may vary by audio source).

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean your headphones, gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or submerging the headphones in water. Ensure the charging port is dry before connecting the charging cable.

Storage

When not in use, store your headphones in the provided zippered storage case. This protects them from dust, dirt, and potential damage, extending their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

No Sound

• Ensure the 3.5mm audio jack is fully inserted into both the headphone control unit and your audio source.

• Test with a different audio source to rule out device-specific issues.

Poor Sound Quality

Charging Issues
