Volume level: 50 (MAX.)
Sound: MEGA BASS on
Lighting: on
Built-in battery life (after the built-in battery is charged for 10 minutes)
10 minutes of charging provide approximately 70 minutes of music playback. (Provided that the volume level is set to 24,
the MEGA BASS sound effect is activated, and the lighting function is deactivated.)
The built-in battery life above is measured using our specified music source.
Actual performance time may vary from the listed time due to the volume, songs played, surrounding temperature, and
usage conditions.
When the built-in battery is running low
When the voice guidance says “Low Battery, Please Recharge Speaker” and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly, the
built-in battery is running low and needs to be charged. In this state, the speaker cannot supply power to other devices.
When the remaining battery decreases to such a level that the speaker cannot be turned on, you hear voice guidance
(Please Recharge Speaker. Power Off.) and the speaker automatically turns off. In such a case, charge the speaker.
If the CHARGE indicator flashes in orange 3 times and goes out when you turn on the speaker, the built-in battery is
empty and needs to be charged.
Using a commercially available USB AC adaptor for battery charging
The speaker supports USB AC adaptors that are capable of delivering an output current of 3.0 A or 1.5 A. (Using a USB
AC adaptor capable of delivering an output current of 3.0 A for battery charging reduces the charging time.)
When using a USB AC adaptor capable of delivering an output current of 3.0 A, be sure to use a USB Type-C® cable
(compliant with the USB standard) that supports the battery charging current of 3.0 A.
Note
When you use the speaker at a loud volume, the built-in battery may run low even if the speaker is connected to an AC outlet. If
you want to use the speaker while charging, lower the volume of the speaker. Otherwise, turn off the speaker and charge the
built-in battery sufficiently.
The maximum power output will be lower when the built-in battery is running low.
If the ambient temperature is extremely low or high, the speaker will stop charging the built-in battery for safety reasons. It may
also stop charging if charging continues for a long period of time. If such an event occurs, bring the temperature up or down to an
operating temperature between 5 °C and 35 °C (41 °F and 95 °F), disconnect and reconnect the supplied AC adaptor, and then
let the speaker charge the built-in battery once again.
Do not charge the speaker's built-in battery in places where the speaker is likely to have water splashed on it. The supplied AC
adaptor as well as the jack and ports (USB/AUDIO IN) behind the cap are designed neither for waterproof nor for dustproof.
Even if you do not intend to use the speaker for a long time, charge the built-in battery sufficiently once every 6 months to
maintain its performance.
When the Android smartphone is configured to use only A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) for establishing
BLUETOOTH connections, the remaining battery power of the speaker is not displayed on the smartphone.
