Overview

The AS330 AfterShokz Bluez Bone Conduction Bluetooth Headset is designed to provide an open-ear listening experience, allowing users to remain aware of their surroundings while enjoying audio. This stereo Bluetooth headset offers both wireless phone and music functions, aiming for a more comfortable and stable fit during extended use.

To wear the headset, users should place the wraparound headband behind their neck, ensuring the transducers rest on the bone in front of their ears, not directly on the ears. For individuals with smaller heads or those who find the headset not secure enough, an adjustable and removable Tension Band is included. This band can be adjusted to achieve a snug fit or removed entirely if not needed.

Charging the AS330 AfterShokz Bluez is straightforward. The headset connects to a standard USB port on a PC or a wall charger using the provided USB charging cable. A full charge takes approximately 3 hours. During charging, the LED indicator will display a solid red light, which then turns solid blue once charging is complete. It is recommended to fully charge the headset before its initial use. It's important to note that the headset is not functional while charging.

Pairing the headset with a device involves a few simple steps. First, slide the Power Switch on the Bluez to the "ON" position (indicated by green). Then, locate the Bluetooth menu on the device and select "AFTERSHOKZ." If the Bluez is being paired with a device for the first time, it will automatically enter pairing mode, and the LED indicator will flash blue/red. For devices that have been previously paired, the Bluez will automatically reconnect within 18 seconds, and the LED indicator will flash blue. To pair with a new phone or re-pair with an existing device manually, users need to press and hold the Play Button for 5 seconds. In this manual pairing mode, the LED indicator will flash quickly blue/red.

The headset is designed to manage disconnections. If the Bluez goes out of range (more than 33 feet/10 meters) from a connected device, it will disconnect. Upon returning within range, it will automatically reconnect. However, if the disconnection lasts for more than 3 minutes, users might need to press any button on the headset to manually reconnect. Similarly, if the connected device is turned off while connected to Bluez, the headset will disconnect. Turning the device back on requires pressing any button on the Bluez to manually reconnect.

The LED indicator provides visual cues for various statuses:

  • A quick red flash indicates a low battery.
  • A solid red light means the device is charging.
  • A solid blue light signifies that charging is complete.
  • A quick red flash four times when shutting down Bluez indicates less than 2 hours of working time remaining.
  • A blue and red flash indicates pairing mode.
  • A quick double blue flash means the device is discoverable for pairing.
  • A slow double blue flash suggests that Bluez and a paired mobile phone are not connected, either because one is off or they are more than 33 feet (10m) apart.
  • A slow blue flash indicates that the device is connected, making a call, or streaming audio.
  • A quick blue flash signifies that a call is being received.

The headset offers a range of actions controlled by its buttons:

  • Answering a call: Press the Call Button (two notes audio tone).
  • Ending a call: Press the Call Button (single beep audio tone).
  • Rejecting an incoming call: Hold the Call Button for 1 second (two notes audio tone).
  • Transferring audio to your mobile while on a call: Hold the Call Button for 1 second (single beep audio tone).
  • Redialing the last call: Press the Call Button twice (single beep audio tone).
  • Voice control: Hold the Call Button (single beep audio tone).
  • Volume control: Press the Volume Control (single beep audio tone).
  • Muting/Unmuting a call: Press the Play Button while making/taking a call (single beep audio tone).
  • Playing/Pausing music players on your phone: Press the Play Button once (no audio tone). Note: This function may vary depending on the smartphone's operating system and software.
  • Previous/Next song: Hold the Volume Control for 2 seconds (single beep audio tone).
  • Powering on: Slide the Power switch to the On position (green) (four ascending notes audio tone).
  • Powering off: Slide the Power switch to the Off position (four descending notes audio tone).
  • Bluetooth disconnect: Three beeps audio tone.
  • Bluetooth connect: Three beeps audio tone.
  • Low battery: Beeps three times every two minutes.

Troubleshooting guidance is provided for common issues:

  • Device does not turn on: Check if the battery is fully charged. The resolution is to charge the battery.
  • Device does not reconnect automatically: This indicates Bluez is in standby mode. The resolution is to press any button to manually reconnect.
  • Unable to pair: This means Bluez is not entering pairing mode. The resolution is to press and hold the Play Button for 5 seconds to enter Manual Pairing Mode.
  • People on the other end of a phone call can't hear you: This occurs if the Play Button was pressed during the call, muting the microphone. The resolution is to press the Play Button again to turn off the mute function.

For maintenance, the headset should be stored in a cool and dry place, with a working temperature range of 0~45°C (32~113°F). Operating in extreme cold/hot or highly humid environments can reduce battery life. After long periods of storage, it's advisable to charge the headset before use. The headset is water-resistant but not waterproof, so it should not be submerged in water. Cleaning should be done with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid contact with sharp objects and do not expose the headset to extremely high or low temperatures.

The device complies with FCC and Industry Canada regulations, ensuring it operates without causing harmful interference and accepts any interference received. It is designed to be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and the user's body.
