6 Charging 2go
2go can be charged with the provided USB cable Lor the charger supplied with Hugo 2. It takes
about 5 hours to charge 2go. 2go and Hugo 2 can be charged simultaneously, with a charge time of
about 8 hours.

2go and Hugo 2 simultaneously, an input of at least 2A is required. Using a 1A charger to charge both
devices simultaneously will result in only Hugo 2 being charged.
TIP We recommend that you fully charge 2go before using it for the first time.
TIP 2go can be charged while playing back audio, but this increases the charging time.
To charge 2go:
1. Insert the USB cable Lor Hugo 2 charger into the Micro USB charging port G.
