Aftershokz Headphones Beeping
Beep Sound during Pairing Mode
To enter pairing mode, turn off the headphones and hold the Volume+ button for 5-7 seconds. Avoid extended button presses or short circuits and ensure proper drying in a well-ventilated area.
Beeping due to Poor Bluetooth Connections
Bluetooth connections may result in beeping if the device moves out of range. Keep the device nearby during use as Bluetooth has limited range and is unsuitable for long distances.
Beeping caused by Moisture in the Charging Port
If moisture is present in the charging port, the headphones may beep continuously. Disconnect the charger immediately and let the headphones air dry for a while.
Aftershokz Headphones Beeping on Mute
A bug in the 2022 Microsoft Teams update caused Shokz and other Bluetooth headphones to beep during mute. This issue is specific to Microsoft Teams and Shokz headphones.
Two solutions are available:
1) Install the latest update for Teams or your video conferencing software to fix the bug.
2) In Teams, unmute yourself or ask the host to do so, then manually mute your Shokz headphones by pressing the Volume+ and Volume- buttons simultaneously for two seconds. Audrey will confirm mute status with “Mute On.” Repeat the process to unmute and speak.
Aftershokz Beeping When Charging
Your Aftershokz headphones may beep vigorously during charging due to liquid infiltration in the charging port, even with high water-resistance ratings.
Moisture in the charging port triggers continuous beeping and a flashing red LED on Shokz headphones. Disconnect immediately, and let them dry in a well-ventilated area to avoid damage.
Shokz recommends a minimum drying time of 30 minutes before reinitiating the charging process to mitigate the risk of permanent damage.
