A charged battery provides power for several hours of operation at normal volume levels. A high volume consumes more battery power; therefore, we recommend listening at normal volume levels. To charge the BT speaker, please connect the charging adapter to the mains and then to the BT speaker. The battery status indicator will flash blue during charging. A low battery level will be indicated by an audible alert and a flashing LED indicator with the music playback volume being reduced at the same time.

Warning:  For charging, use only the original accessories supplied with the appliance. To achieve the maximum battery lifetime, it is best not to start charging until the low battery audible signal is output. Charge continuously until fully charged. If the battery life is very short, the battery life is exhausted and we recommend that you have the battery replaced by an authorized service center.
Recommendation:  If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, we recommend to fully charge the battery once every two to three months. We recommend to store the unit with a the battery charged to prevent irreparable damage to the battery (loss of capacity).

Ingression protection (IPX7)
The unit is resistant against water thus allowing you to listen to your music in bath, shower, on the beach or by the pool. IPX7 water resistance guarantees the unit’s function with slight splashing or immersing in water 1 m deep for up to 30 minutes. Full immersion is not recommended due to possible signal loss for playback sound transmission.
Warning:  Always remember to seal the BT speaker inputs (No. 12–14 in the picture “BT speaker description”) with the original gasket and make sure that the gasket is not damaged. Never charge the device during possible contact with liquids. The unit is designed for contact with clean water only without any additives.
