Charging the system

The system contains a lithium ion rechargeable battery, which should be charged before using the system for the first time. You can use the speaker while charging the battery.

Charging the system

  1. Open the jack cover of the system.

  1. Connect the AC adaptor supplied to the DC IN jack of the system, then to an AC outlet.

Charging starts when the system is connected to an AC outlet via the AC adaptor, and the CHARGE indicator (orange) lights up. Charging is completed in about 3 hours* and the indicator goes off.
* Time required to charge the empty battery to its full capacity
Caution
If the system detects a problem while charging, the CHARGE indicator (orange) may turn off, although charging is not completed.
Check for the following causes:

  • Ambient temperature exceeds the range of 5 °C – 35 °C (41 °F – 95 °F).

  • There is a problem with the battery.

    In this case, charge again within the above-mentioned temperature range. If the problem persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Notes

  • Charging time varies depending on conditions of use of the battery.

  • Charge the system in the ambient temperature between 5 °C and 35 °C (41 °F and 95 °F).

  • The system will get warm during charging. This is not a malfunction.

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

  • If the system is not used for a long time, it may take longer to charge the battery.

  • If the life of the built-in rechargeable battery became extremely short, the battery should be replaced. Consult your nearest Sony dealer for replacement of the rechargeable battery.

  • Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, direct sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or mechanical shock. Never leave the system in a car parked in the sun.
