until it runs out, then charge it and start all over again. Second,
there is no storage on the PWS, you must have access to your
digital music libary through your phone, tablet or computer,
just pair it and play it. Third, the PWS is made of solid wood,
don’t get it wet.
Finally, the functions phases of the PWS are controlled through
