When the battery is kept charging itself for an extended period of time, the speaker may stop battery charging as well. In such a case, make sure that the ambient temperature is within the operating temperature range (5 °C - 35 °C (41 °F - 95 °F)), unplug and plug the USB cable, and then charge the battery all over again.

  • If you use this speaker for a long time, the temperature of this speaker may rise, but it is not a malfunction.

  • At high temperature, the charging may stop or the volume may reduce to protect the battery.

  • Noise or sound interruption may occur depending on the BLUETOOTH device connected with the speaker, the communication environment or the usage environment.

  • Even if you do not intend to use the speaker for a long time, charge the battery to its full capacity once every 6 months to maintain its performance.
