About the indicators
CHARGE indicator (orange)
| Turns off | Charging the speaker is completed. |
| Lights up | The speaker is being charged. |

| Flashes 3 times and turns off | If the CHARGE indicator flashes 3 times and goes off when you turn on the speaker, the battery is empty and needs to be charged. |
Note
- A speaker that is in use can be charged if it is connected to a booted computer or AC outlet via a USB AC adapter (not supplied) 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 a booted computer or AC outlet via a USB AC adapter. As a result, sound becomes low. This is not a malfunction. Turn off the speaker and charge the battery sufficiently.
- 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. To resolve these issues, disconnect the USB cable from the speaker and connect it again within the operating temperature between 5 °C and 35 °C (41 °F and 95 °F).
