BATTERY

The NDS-1521 is a lithium battery-powered PA loudspeaker.

Be sure that you have completely charged the battery prior to first use to maximize the battery’s lifespan. Once the power adaptor is connected to a power source, it will automatically begin charging (3-5 hours to fully charge the lithium battery). Even if the battery power is low, it will power on when connected to a power source.

• When the battery power is charging, the battery indicator light is red.
• When the battery is fully charged, the indicator light will turn off.

NOTE
 With standard usage, a fully charged battery can play for about 1 hour. The battery can be recharged about 300 times in its lifetime.

NOTE
 When not in use, the speaker should always be set OFF, to prevent the unit from draining the battery. When the unit is not used for prolonged periods of time, the battery will gradually lose its power. It is recommended to fully charge the battery at least every 60 days.
