Important Safety Instructions for All

Integral Battery Charging

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, and cautionary markings for the battery, charging cable and product. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

WARNING: Only charge product using a certified power adapter that is compliant with applicable country regulations and international/regional safety standards. Using adapters that do not meet applicable safety standards could result in injury.

  • Only use the charging cable supplied by the manufacturer for charging.

  • The provided charging cable is not intended for any uses other than charging DEWALT rechargeable tools with charging ports. Charging other types of tools may cause their batteries to overheat and burst, resulting in personal injury, property damage, fire, electric shock
    or electrocution.

  • DO NOT expose charging cable to water, rain or snow.

  • Pull by the plugs rather than the cord when disconnecting the charging cable. This will reduce the risk of damage to the plugs and cord.

  • Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

  • DO NOT use a charging cable with a damaged cord or plugs. Have them replaced immediately.

  • Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from the charging plugs and port.

  • Always unplug the charging cable from the power supply when there is no tool attached to it.

Charging Procedure (Fig. A, B)

  1. Pull the charging port cover ( 11 ) away from the speaker.

  2. Insert the charging plug ( 10 ) into the charging port ( 13 ).

  3. Plug the charger plug ( 9 ) into any charging port (such as on a computer or wall adapter).
    NOTE: Charging takes two hours depending on power supply rating (5V, 1A).
    The charge indicator LED ( 12 ) color is red and continuously on while charging.

  4. Charging is complete when the charge indicator LED ( 12 ) color is green and continuously on. The battery can be left charging or the USB cable can be disconnected.

Hot/Cold Delay
When the speaker detects that the battery is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a hot/cold delay, suspending charging until the battery has reached an appropriate temperature. The speaker then automatically switches to charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.

  1. A cold battery may charge at a slower rate than a warm battery.
  2. During a hot/cold delay the charge indicator LED ( 12 ) will not illuminate. Charging will not activate until the battery temperature reaches between 40 °F and 104 °F (4 °C and 40 °C).
  3. Once the battery has reached an appropriate temperature, the charge indicator LED ( 12 ) will continuously blink, indicating that the speaker has resumed the charging procedure.

Important Charging Notes

  1. The speaker may become warm to the touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the speaker after use, avoid placing the speaker in a
    warm environment such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.

  2. If the speaker does not charge properly, take the speaker and USB cable to your local service center.

  3. You may charge a partially used battery whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the speaker.

Over Temperature Protection (Fig. A)
When over temperature protection is activated, the charge indicator LED ( 12 ) will turn off.
NOTE: The unit can still be used during over the temperature protection cycle.

Checking State of Charge (Fig. A)

  • When the speaker is powered ON, press the power button ( 1 ) and the speaker will tell you the percentage of charge remaining in the battery.
    NOTE: It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product components, temperature and end-user application.
