CHARGING

One full battery charge provides up to 5 hours of playing time at maximum volume, and up to 20 hours at 30% volume. When the battery is running low, you will hear a sound signal.

TREBLAB HD Max may be used while charging in both Bluetooth and 3.5 mm audio cable modes.

To charge the speaker, plug one end of the supplied cable into the TYPE-C charging port under the rubber cover at the side of the speaker. Plug the other end of the charging cable into a standard USB port. It takes up to 5.5 hours to fully charge.

If the speaker is turned OFF, the LED light will turn on RED. If the speaker is turned ON and connected to the device, the PURPLE LED will light up. The RED light will turn OFF or the PURPLE light will go BLUE when the speaker is charged.

Be sure to use a 5V DC, 0.5-2 A adaptor or charger. Using the power source with lower power will increase the overall charging time. Maximize the battery lifespan by charging your speaker through a computer’s USB port.

Unplug HD Max from the charging cable and the cable itself from the power source when not in use.

If the speaker is left unused, even the fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.

We recommend fully charging the HD Max speaker at least twice a month to maintain sufficient battery life.

BATTERY LEVEL INDICATION

The HD Max speaker is equipped with the battery level indicators – LEDs. The current charge level is displayed while charging when the speaker is used as a power bank, and after the POWER button is pressed in the OFF state.

  • The charge level is between 0% and 30%: one LED is ON (flashing during the speaker charging or in the power bank mode).
  • The charge level is between 30% and 70%: two LEDs are ON (flashing during the speaker charging or in the power bank mode).
  • The charge level is between 70% and 100%: three LEDs are ON (flashing during the speaker charging or in the power bank mode).

POWER BANK MODE

TREBLAB HD Max’s inbuilt battery can be used as a power bank to charge your smartphone or tablet.
