Call me as you see/check my message.
Call me as you see/check my message.
What I'm trying to convey, say through the above sentence is that you call me as soon as you have a look on my message.
I don't know what part of speech "as" is in the above construction but the only sense which seems to fit here is:
2 as (conjunction)
5 : while, when <spilled the milk as she got up>
[M-W's Col. Dic.]
What is your thinking on this? Does the use of "as" affect the overall legiblity?

Repeat: I think your explanation expresses your meaning better than the original. The original is very weak.

It's weak as compared to the alternative but it's still possible? Right?

If you insist, it's still possible, but it is not at all natural.
