You will hear the voice prompt “Connected” once pairing is successful.
When first used, the earbuds automatically enter pairing mode and announce “Bluetooth pairing.”

If they do not reconnect, select them manually in Bluetooth settings
Pairing with a new device
Turn off Bluetooth on the currently connected device
The earbuds will announce “Disconnected,” followed by “Bluetooth pairing”
On the new device, select “BlueAnt Pump Air Lite3” to complete pairing
Using with multiple devices
Pump Air Lite 3 can be paired with multiple devices
Only one device can be connected at a time
Multipoint connectivity is not supported
Using a single earbud (mono mode)
Either earbud can be used on its own
Place the unused earbud back into the charging case
Audio and microphone functions continue through the active earbud
Connection tips
Keep earbuds within Bluetooth range (up to 10 metres in open space)
Avoid areas with heavy wireless interference
Ensure both earbuds are charged for best performance
Important notes
Bluetooth performance depends on environment and device
Audio dropouts may occur if the device is too far away
Some connection behaviour is controlled by the connected device
If you’re having trouble connecting or something isn’t working as expected, let me know what’s happening and I’ll guide you through the next steps
Battery & Charging
The BlueAnt Pump Air Lite 3 uses separate batteries in the earbuds and the charging case, allowing the earbuds to recharge automatically when stored between uses.
Pump Air Lite 3 provides up to 8 hours of playtime per charge, with up to 20 additional hours from the charging case - up to 28 hours total playtime (earbuds + case combined).
Actual battery life varies depending on listening volume, call usage, and usage conditions.
Charging the earbuds
Place both earbuds into the charging case
Ensure each earbud is seated correctly on the charging contacts
Earbuds power off and begin charging automatically when placed in the case
Earbuds take approximately 2.5 hours for a full charge
Charging the case
Charge the case using the supplied USB-C to USB-C cable
Connect to a powered USB source such as a wall adapter, computer, or power bank
The charging case takes approximately 2.5 hours for a full charge
Use only 5V/1A chargers
Wireless charging is not supported
USB-C rapid charging allows you to quickly top up the case for additional listening time.
Charging lights
The charging case has a dual colour light. While the case is charging, it stays solid white and periodically flashes red to show the charge level. One flash is 25 per cent, two is 50, three is 75, and four is 76 to 100 per cent. Once the light turns solid red, the case is fully charged and can be unplugged.
To check the case charge level when it is not charging, remove both earbuds and put them back in. The light will flash red the same way to show the level.
Each earbud shows a solid white light while charging. The light turns off once that earbud is fully charged. The left and right earbuds may charge at different rates.
Battery behaviour
Higher volume levels reduce playback time
Call usage increases battery consumption
Removing the earbuds from the case powers them on automatically
Returning the earbuds to the case powers them off and begins charging
The charging case must have power to recharge the earbuds
The earbuds announce low battery when there is roughly 30 minutes of playback remaining
Charging tips
Fully charge the case before extended use
Keep charging contacts clean and dry
Ensure the case lid is fully closed during charging
Important notes
Playtime figures are “up to” estimates and depend on usage
The charging case is not water resistant and should be kept away from moisture
IP55 protection applies to the earbuds only
If you’re experiencing issues with charging or battery performance, let me know what’s happening and I’ll guide you through the next steps.

This can be useful for awareness or extending battery life.
Call quality notes
ENC helps reduce background noise during calls
Loud environments, wind, or movement can still affect call quality
A secure ear tip fit helps improve microphone performance
Important notes
Pump Air Lite 3 does not use Active Noise Cancellation for listening
Call clarity depends on environment, fit, and device
Some apps manage microphone behaviour independently
If call quality isn’t working as expected or something seems off, let me know what’s happening and I’ll guide you through the next steps
Reset & Troubleshooting
If your BlueAnt Pump Air Lite 3 earbuds aren’t behaving as expected, resetting and re-syncing them can resolve most common issues such as pairing problems or one earbud not working.
Reset & Re-Sync Pump Air Lite 3
Before starting, remove the existing pairing from your phone. Once that is done, turn Bluetooth off.
Remove any existing pairing from your phone
Remove “BlueAnt Pump Air Lite3” from your phone’s paired Bluetooth devices list
Ignore anything that appears as an available device for now
Ensure the charging case is fully charged
The case LED will periodically flash red four times when fully charged
Place both earbuds into the charging case
The LEDs on the earbuds should turn solid white, indicating they are charging
If an LED is flashing, adjust the earbud in the case until it becomes solid white
Press and hold the MFB on both earbuds
Within the first few seconds of placing them in the case (while LEDs are solid white), press and hold the Multi-Function Button (MFB) on both earbuds for 10 seconds
Both LEDs will flash quickly twice – then release
If you don’t see the two fast flashes:
Ensure you started with solid white LEDs
If the earbuds switch off too quickly, leave them out of the case for about 10 minutes, then retry
If only one earbud flashes, reinsert both earbuds and start again
5. Complete re-syncing
Remove both earbuds from the case
Wait about 5 seconds for them to sync together
Re-pair to your phone
Turn Bluetooth back ON
Select “BlueAnt Pump Air Lite3” from the Bluetooth list
Common Troubleshooting Tips
One earbud not working
Reset and re-sync the earbuds using the steps above
Won’t appear in Bluetooth list
Confirm Bluetooth is off before resetting, then ON only after re-sync completes
Audio cutting out
Move closer to the connected device and reduce interference
Charging issues
Ensure earbuds are seated correctly in the case and the case is fully charged
When troubleshooting does not resolve the issue
If your Pump Air Lite 3 earbuds remain faulty after completing all approved reset, Bluetooth, charging, or syncing troubleshooting, this may indicate a hardware fault
BlueAnt will guide you through the next warranty assessment steps for further review

FAQs
What are Pump Air Lite 3 built for?
Long days. 7mm drivers, Bluetooth 6.0, four mics with ENC, IP55 sweat resistance and up to 28 hours total with the case. Work, workouts, commuting, all-day listening — no app, no configuration.
Do they have noise cancelling?
No. Pump Air Lite 3 has no ANC and no listening modes. Any quiet comes from the seal of the ear tip.
It does have ENC, which is a different thing — four microphones cleaning up your voice on calls, not what you hear.
What is in the box?
- Pump Air Lite 3 true wireless earbuds
- Charging case with a carry loop
- USB-C to USB-C charging cable
- ComfortSeal™ ear tips in three sizes (S / M / L)
- Quick start guide and user manual
No wall adapter included.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 8 hours from the earbuds on a single charge, plus about 20 hours more from the case — 28 hours total. The case holds roughly four full recharges.
A full charge takes about 2.5 hours for the earbuds and the same for the case. Use a 5V/1A charger only.
Can I charge it on a wireless pad?
No. USB-C only — wireless charging is not supported on this model.
Can it connect to two devices at once?
No. Multipoint is not supported. To move to another device, turn Bluetooth off on the connected one — the earbuds announce “Disconnected” then “Bluetooth pairing”, and you can select them on the new device.
How do the buttons work?
One press on either earbud plays or pauses. Double press the right to skip forward, the left to skip back. Press and hold the right for volume up, the left for volume down.
On calls: one press answers, double press ends, press and hold rejects. Triple press either earbud for Siri or Google Assistant.
How do I turn them on without the case?
Press and hold the button for about 2 seconds to power on, or 6 seconds to power off.
How do I get the fit right?
Three ear tip sizes come in the box. The tip should feel snug without pressure. If the earbuds feel loose or calls sound unclear, change size — the seal drives stability and microphone performance both.
Insert gently and rotate slightly until secure. Recheck after exercise.
Can I use one earbud on its own?
Yes. Either earbud works alone for audio and calls — put the other back in the case. Taking the second one out again returns you to stereo automatically, no re-pairing.
Only one earbud is working, or they will not sync.
Reset and re-sync. The timing matters on this model:
- Remove the old “BlueAnt Pump Air Lite 3” pairing from your phone and turn Bluetooth off
- Make sure the case is fully charged — its LED flashes red four times when full
- Put both earbuds in. Both LEDs must be solid white. A flashing LED means it is not seated — adjust it.
- Within the first few seconds, while the LEDs are still solid white, press and hold the button on both earbuds for 10 seconds, releasing when both flash quickly twice
- Take both out, wait about 5 seconds, then turn Bluetooth on and select Pump Air Lite 3
No two fast flashes? Check you started from solid white. If the earbuds switch off too quickly, leave them out of the case for about 10 minutes and try again.
I bought a single replacement earbud and it will not pair.
Expected — replacement earbuds do not pair automatically with your existing earbud. Run the full reset above first.
Can I use Pump Air Lite 2 parts on these?
No. Lite 3 parts are specific to Lite 3 and are not compatible with Lite 2 or any other Pump Air model. Left and right earbuds are sold separately.
Can I get them wet?
The earbuds are IP55 — sweat and light splashes are fine. The charging case is not water resistant, so keep that dry.
Will they work with my computer?
Yes — iOS, Android, Windows and macOS over standard Bluetooth audio, including video calls. Microphone behaviour varies by app. There is no wired audio option.
