Connecting to an AC outlet
The speaker can operate by AC adaptor (supplied) or built-in battery (rechargeable).
Charge the battery before using the speaker for the first time.
You can operate the speaker by battery instead of the AC adaptor by charging the speaker before use.
- Connect the AC adaptor (supplied) to the DC IN 12.5 V jack.
- Plug the AC adaptor (supplied) to an AC outlet.
When the speaker is connected to an AC outlet via the AC adaptor, charging starts and the CHARGE indicator lights up in orange. Charging is completed in about 4 hours* and the indicator goes off.
*Time that is required to charge the empty battery to its full capacity.
Battery life (when using the BLUETOOTH connection)
About 8 hours.
Time stated above may vary, depending on ambient temperature or conditions of use.
When the battery is running low
- When the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly in orange, the battery is running low and needs to be charged. In this state, the speaker cannot supply power to other devices.
- If the CHARGE indicator flashes 3 times in orange and goes off when you turn on the speaker, the battery is empty and needs to be charged.
Note
- When you switch the power source between AC adaptor and battery by connecting/disconnecting the AC adaptor, the speaker may stop sound output for a short while. This is not a malfunction.
- The maximum power output will be lower when the AC adaptor is disconnected.
- In an extremely cold or hot environment, charging may complete too quickly or not be possible, or the speaker may stop its operations after the CHARGE indicator flashes in orange 3 times. These are not malfunctions.
- 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.
