BATTERY
A built-in rechargeable battery powers the speaker. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge
cycles. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary based on settings and usage. Please charge your
device at least once a month in order to prevent it from declining in performance.
CHARGING
Connect a USB-C charging cable (not included) to your Bluetooth speaker's charge input, then connect the
other end to a USB port on your computer or to a USB charger. Charging is indicated by a red LED. The LED
turns offwhen fully charged. If you haven't used the speaker for 7 days, it is recommended to charge it for
at least 10 minutes before powering it on. You can then use it while it's charging.
POWERING ON/OFF

device to the speaker, you must first disconnect the current one.
