Battery Installation Process

Step 1.
Step 2.
Step 3.

The time it takes to charge the batteries is significantly relevant
to the operation (time /volume usage.) This speaker can be
operating as well as in charging conditions. The battery under
the digital screen shows running mode while it is externally
powered and recharged. The rechargeable batteries, contained
in the speaker, will automatically disconnect when fully charged.
At least 12 hours of recharging time by the supplied
adapter (contained in the box.) is needed before using
(RECOMMENDED.) The speaker also can be charged by the
Sun. All you have to do is set the solar power mode switch in
“ON” position under the top panel. The batteries will be charged
slowly by the Sun. A “SUN” icon, on the digital screen, indicates
whether or not the solar power mode is in “ON” position. The
batteries can not be charged by the Sun when the switch is
turned to the “OFF” position. Also, there is no “SUN” icon
showed on the digital screen if the switch is turned to the “OFF”
position. The battery meter on the screen will show running
mode while it is externally powered or recharged by the Sun.
When fully charged, the battery meter in the screen stop
showing the running mode, and it will automatically be
disconnected.
When the charging process is interrupted or surged, which
means external power is disconnected, the battery sign on the
digital screen starts to show the energy amount in the battery
compartment . You can check how much power is available and
when to fast charge, when needed, by pushing the “BATTERY”
icon button on the speaker panel. Our “Manual Power Meter
Activator” (battery icon button ) always allow you to know
the amount of charge available.
