1. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the DALI KATCH G2, and thank you for trusting DALI with your portable
music. The KATCH G2 takes the features and performance of the original DALI KATCH
and brings evolution to bear, with new colours, more baery life, enhanced Bluetooth
5.0 aptX HD wireless performance, and a True Wireless Stereo mode that enables two
KATCH G2 speakers to link and play stereo.
Some things have no need of change however and the DALI KATCH G2 borrows its
predecessor’s slish Danish design, vivid multi-driver sound, and exceptional build
quali. The newly evolved DALI KATCH G2 is the latest word in compact portable music.
Your DALI KATCH G2 packaging contains:
Universal Mains Charger (1.75 m cable length)

5. BATTERY CHARGING
To charge the DALI KATCH G2 internal baery, connect the
included mains charger to the KATCH G2 (Connector 9).
Charging will begin as soon the charger is connected to mains
power. The indicator lights (Lights 3) will pulse slowly while
charging is underway while simultaneously indicating charge
state. A full baery charge will take lile more than 2 hours.
Playing music or using the USB charge output (Connector 7)
will increase charge time.
NOTE
Powering the DALI
KATCH G2 through the
mains charger enables
it to play louder and
with more energy. This
is recommended for
optimal performance
when playing loud par
music.
The KATCH G2 has
class leading baery life
but it will vary depending
on use. Play your music
louder and the baery
will drain a lile faster.
With a fully charged baery your KATCH G2 can play
music for up to 30 hours.
