Note

  • In an extremely cold or hot environment, charging stops for safety. If charging takes a long time, it also makes charging of the speaker stop. In these conditions, the CHARGE indicator keeps flashing in orange quickly, but this is not a malfunction. To resolve these issues, unplug the AC adaptor and plug it in again within the operating temperature of between 5 °C and 35 °C (41 °F and 95 °F).
