Printed pages 5, 13, 28, 29 and 34 cover the supplied USB-A to USB-C and analog cables, carry case, two Bluetooth connections with one playback source, passive analog, and USB playback plus microphone input while charging. USB setup explicitly disconnects Bluetooth. The analog mode disables Bluetooth and call controls. ANC requires battery charge.

The English guide linked by this exact A3062 page has a four-step inward-folding sequence, USB-C charging port, 3.5 mm wired listening, dual connections and LDAC setup. LDAC requires Android 8 or later, excludes two simultaneous device connections and Dolby Audio, and increases power consumption. AUX turns off Bluetooth and leaves only the NC button active. No USB digital playback or microphone setup is documented.
