illuminated, the battery level is low and needs to be
recharged.

Cable into the USB Type-C Charging Port on the speaker,
then plug the other end into a USB power source, such as

while charging is in progress.
3. When charging is complete, the Battery Charge Indicator
will be solid white in all four elements.
