    Check The Indicator

    The case indicator pulses orange while the case is charging. Check the guide below for other states.

CAD-based views. Cable and rendered light colour are illustrative; use the indicator descriptions below.

Read The Indicator

Earbuds charging in the case
Earbud indicator: steady white.
Earbuds low on battery
Earbud indicator: two white flashes every 5 seconds. A low-battery prompt sounds every minute.
Charging the case by USB-C
Case indicator: pulsing orange.
Case fully charged
The factory definition specifies steady orange. This row has no recorded test result; final verification is pending.
Lid closed with earbuds charging
Case indicator: steady white. It turns off when the earbuds are fully charged.

Opening the lid: verification pending. The factory test marked this item NG: the specified 10-second white light was observed as three white flashes instead. Neither pattern is used here as a reliable charge-level or pairing confirmation.

Factory reference charging time: approximately 1.5 hours for the earbuds and approximately 1.5 hours for the case. Charging conditions were not supplied.

Keep It Dry.Make sure the USB-C port and charging contacts are clean and dry before charging.

04 / CONNECT

Pair With Bluetooth.

First pair the earbuds with your phone. Then check their connection in the ZENSBUDS AI app.

  1. Open The Charging Case

    Open the case lid to power on the earbuds.

  2. Open Bluetooth Settings

    On your phone, open Bluetooth settings and turn Bluetooth on.

  3. Select ZENSBUDS AI

    Choose “ZENSBUDS AI” from the available-device list.

  4. Confirm The Connection

    Wait until your phone shows Connected, then check audio playback.

Open The Case

Select “ZENSBUDS AI” in your phone's Bluetooth settings. This is the connection name in the factory UI for the shipping firmware.

Power And Reconnect

Open the charging case to turn the earbuds on. Return them to the case and close the lid to turn them off and charge. With no connection, the earbuds turn off automatically after 5 minutes.

For later use, enable Bluetooth on the previously paired phone and open the case nearby. If automatic reconnection fails, select “ZENSBUDS AI” again. Both earbud indicators turn off after a successful phone connection.

NEXT / APP CONNECTION

Connect In The App

After pairing your earbuds with your phone, open the app and check whether your earbuds are shown as Connected.

  1. Open ZENSBUDS AI

    Download the official ZENSBUDS AI app using a store link below, then open it.

  2. Pair New Device

    If the earbuds are not already connected, tap “Pair New Device” and follow the onscreen device-connection instructions.

  3. Confirm The Connection

    Confirm the app shows Connected before translating through your earbuds.

Based on iOS screenshots from the ZENSBUDS AI v1.1.0 App Store gallery. The connection image was edited with AI to change the example display name to “A Good Man”; the AI Translator image is unedited. Detail views are cropped for readability, with purple guide outlines added. Full-screen links show the uncropped images. Device artwork and displayed values are examples, not product specifications. Your screen may vary by app version or platform.

APP SERVICES / USD

App Fees, Clearly Explained

The following prices are displayed in the supplied AI Recharge (AI チャージ) screen. All amounts are in US dollars (USD), not Japanese yen.

Service Start And Expiry

Signing in to the app establishes the start date of your membership service period. Check the expiry date shown in the app. When that period expires, instant translation becomes unavailable; all other features remain available.

This describes the app service period, not the start date or duration of your hardware warranty. Submitting a warranty registration request does not start, extend or renew app service.

These are AI Recharge prices—not a complete translation-fee schedule. The app has separate entries for AI Recharge, Translation Recharge, Meeting Recharge and Usage Statistics. Do not assume the AI plan includes all translation or meeting usage.

Where To Check

Open the app's gear/settings tab. In the recharge area, choose the service you need and review its package details before purchasing. Use Usage Statistics to check the usage information shown in the app.

Before You Buy

Check the included allowance, validity period, renewal or cancellation terms, currency and final total on the purchase screen. Those details are not established by this screenshot. Any currency conversion or taxes must be checked at purchase.

Wear To Play, Remove To Pause

When connected with music paused, putting the earbuds on starts playback. Removing them pauses the music. Optical wear detection is included in the factory-tested controls.

06 / CARE & SAFETY

Protect your hearing and earbuds.

Simple habits help keep the product comfortable, clean and safe.

Listen responsibly

Use a comfortable volume and limit long periods of high-volume listening.

Keep dry

Avoid water, excessive humidity and charging while the product is wet.

Avoid heat

Keep the product and battery away from fire, direct heat and prolonged sun.

Do not disassemble

Do not open, modify or replace internal parts of the earbuds or case.

Read the full safety notice

Avoid strong electromagnetic fields and extreme temperatures. If the product becomes wet, disconnect it from power and allow it to dry completely before use. Never dismantle, puncture, crush or expose the battery to high temperature. Keep earbuds and ear tips away from young children and pets, and store the product in a cool, dry place.

07 / TROUBLESHOOTING

Connection Help.

Use the checks below when your earbuds do not connect as expected.

ZENSBUDS AI · Earbuds

CAD-based view of both purple ZENSBUDS AI earbuds with their outer faces visible; no reset action is illustrated.
Outer-face reference. Read the reset conditions beside the image; the image does not show a case-button procedure.

Clear Earbud Pairing Data

Factory condition: earbuds powered on and not paired with a phone.

  1. In that state, tap the touch surface of one earbud 5 times. The factory UI specifies that one-earbud operation resets both earbuds together.
  2. Both white indicators flash 3 times. Pairing information is cleared and the earbuds turn off.
  3. To connect again, follow Pair With Bluetooth.

Check the starting state first. The factory has not clarified whether “not paired” also includes a previously paired phone that is merely disconnected. Do not assume these states are the same. If unsure, use the connection checks below or contact support before resetting.

Charging-Case Button — Setup Conditions Pending

The factory UI lists a 3–5-second hold for pairing and an 8–10-second hold to clear earbud pairing information. It does not specify whether the earbuds must be seated or whether the lid must be open. This is a reference, not a complete operating procedure; do not try it until those conditions have been confirmed.

The earbuds do not appear in Bluetooth

Return both earbuds to the case, close the lid for a few seconds, then reopen it. Turn Bluetooth off and on again before checking the available-device list.

Only one earbud connects

Place both earbuds in the charging case and confirm that both are seated on their charging contacts. Close and reopen the case, then reconnect.

Audio pauses or breaks up

Removing the earbuds pauses music through wear detection. If audio cuts out while you are wearing them, move closer to the connected device and away from dense wireless interference. Confirm that both the earbuds and connected device have sufficient charge.

The earbuds do not reconnect

Open Bluetooth settings and select “ZENSBUDS AI” again. Before clearing pairing information, read the reset starting conditions; being disconnected is not automatically the same as being unpaired.
