Operation
Operating on battery power
Battery performance varies with the content played and the volume level at which it
is played. In typical use, the speaker battery lasts up to eight hours.
Checking the battery
• Each time you turn the speaker on, the battery indicator will display the battery
charge level for two seconds. (See "System status indicators" on page 13.)
• With the speaker on, press and hold
• If the battery indicator begins to blink red while operating on battery power, the
battery is low and you must charge the speaker now.
Battery protection mode
When the speaker is unplugged and unused for more than 24 days, it enters
battery protection mode to preserve battery power. To reactivate the speaker,
connect it to AC power.
Auto off feature
If no Bluetooth device is actively connected, the speaker will automatically turn off
after 30 minutes of inactivity.
To turn off this feature, press and hold
a voice prompt (or a tone) confirming that the Auto-off setting is off.
Repeat to turn the Auto-off setting back on.
Tips on placing the speaker
When using your speaker indoors, the sound quality can vary depending on where
the speaker is placed in a room.
When using your speaker outdoors, you should expect the sound quality to change
as you move farther away from the speaker.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when placing your speaker:
• The speaker's Bluetooth range is 33 feet (10 m). If you move the device farther
away from the speaker, sound quality will be affected and the device may
disconnect from the speaker.
• For optimal sound, the front of the speaker should face the user.
• For best bass response, the back of the speaker should be placed near a wall,
but not directly against a wall. Bass response decreases as the speaker is
moved away from a wall.
• Do not place the speaker in small areas that are enclosed on all sides except the
front, as this will adversely affect sound quality.
• Do not place the speaker on wet or dirty surfaces.
• Only place the speaker upright, sitting on its rubber feet.
