operating time is shortened or the battery expands or is deformed,
replace the battery with a new one immediately.

Active Speaker / Using the Anti-slip Mats
ACTIVE SPEAKER (LINE-IN)
This device has a line-in jack, enabling it to function as a speaker for
an external audio source (such as: laptop, recording pen, small audio
players, etc.). Connect one end of the audio cable to the external
audio source and another end to this device’s <LINE IN> jack. Turn on
the device. When properly connected, "LINE" shows on the display.
You can now press the play button on the external audio source.
USING ANTI-SLIP MATS
Accompanying this device are two non-slip mats, one large and one
small. The large anti-slip mat is designed for use within a vehicle; the
small mat for desktop use.
When using the large mat inside a vehicle, place the device onto the
anti-slip mat horizontally. Make sure the microphone is directed
towards you. This is better suited for the handsfree function.
When using the small mat on your desktop, the device can stand
vertically. In case the mat becomes dusty, you may use warm water
for cleaning. This will also improve the mat’s viscosity.
