USING
YOUR NEW MUSIC SYSTEM
Using
the
battery
The battery on the SoundDock® Portable system is partially charged before shipping. However, during shipping the
system enters a protection
mode
to
preserve battery power. Plugging in the
power
supply returns the system
to
active
operation and charges the battery as needed.
For information on using a backup battery, refer
to
"Installing a new SoundDock Portable system battery" on page
9.
Battery
operation
Volume level and music
type
affect the rate
of
battery discharge. A fully charged battery provides approximately three
hours
of
use when the SoundDock Portable system is set
to
full volume.You can extend this time significantly by choosing
a lower volume.
• A quick way
to
check the battery
power
level is
to
press and hold the remote control Off button. Then notice the color
of
the light on the front of the SoundDock Portable system. For details, refer
to
"Noticing the indicator lights" on page
8.
• There is very little depletion
of
battery
power
when the SoundDock Portable system is not in use.
• A blinking red light on the front
of
the system indicates when the battery needs
to
be recharged. Recharging the battery
may take up
to
10 hours (whether it is playing or not).
• Plugging in the
power
supply recharges the battery, as indicated by the yellow light on the front
of
the system.
• If the light remains yellow after 10 hours
of
recharging, the battery needs
to
be replaced.
• If the period
of
battery operation becomes shorter and shorter, the battery needs
to
be replaced.
• When it is unplugged and unused for 14 days or more, the system enters battery
power
protection mode. Plugging in
the power supply is the only means
to
reactivate the system.
