Operating on battery power
A fully charged battery provides approximately
three hours of use at maximum volume. The
rate of battery discharge varies with the volume
setting. You can extend the battery playback
time by reducing the volume.
Checking the battery
The battery status indicator is normally off to
conserve battery power. To check the charge
level, press and hold the power button and
observe the battery indicator.
Battery protection mode
When the SoundLink
®
speaker is unplugged
and unused for more than 14 days, it enters
battery protection mode to preserve battery
power. To reactivate the speaker, connect it
to AC (mains) power (see “Charging the
Battery,” below). You can immediately use the
system while the battery charges.
Charging the battery
The battery status indicator on the SoundLink
®
speaker glows red when the battery needs
charging. The battery can be charged whether
the cover is opened or closed.
To charge the battery
Plug the power cable into the DC POWER
connector on the back panel of the
SoundLink
®
speaker. Then plug the power
pack cord into a live AC (mains) outlet. The
speaker emits a tone to confirm the power
connection. Recommended charging time is
3 hours. The battery status indicator indicates
charging status.
Note: Do not store your SoundLink
®
speaker for
extended periods when the battery status indicator
is red.
