Note

  • A speaker that is in use can be charged if it is connected to the USB AC adaptor, though the CHARGE indicator does not light up. In this case, it may take longer to charge the battery depending on the conditions of use. Therefore, it is recommended to turn off the speaker when charging.
  • When you use the speaker at a loud volume for a long time, the battery may run low even if the speaker is connected to an AC outlet. As a result, sound becomes low. This is not a malfunction. Turn off the speaker and charge the battery to its full capacity.
