to rain or moisture. The product shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing, and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall not be
placed on or near the product. As with any electronic products, use care
not to spill liquids into any part of the product. Liquids can cause a failure
and/or a fire hazard.
• The power supply must be used indoors only. It is neither designed nor
tested for use outdoors, in recreation vehicles, or on boats.
• Make no modifications to the product or accessories. Unauthorized
alterations may compromise safety, regulatory compliance, and system
performance, and will void the warranty.
• Where the mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect
device, such disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
• Do not place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on or near
the apparatus.
• Contains small parts that may be a choking hazard. Not suitable for
children under age 3.
• Before use, charge the battery using only the power supply provided with
the system. Refer to charging instructions in the system owner’s guide.
Do not continue charging the battery if it does not reach full charge within
the specified charging time. Overcharging may cause the battery to
become hot, rupture, or ignite. If you see any heat deformation or leakage,
properly dispose of the battery.
• Do not attempt to charge the battery in temperatures outside the range of
32°-104°F (0°-40°C).
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children and pets.
• If the battery begins to leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with
your skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with
plenty of water and seek medical advice immediately.
• Do not expose the product or battery to excessive heat, including direct
sunlight or fire and storage or use inside cars in hot weather, where it can
be exposed to temperatures in excess of 140°F (60°C). Doing so may
cause the battery and power supply to generate heat, rupture, or ignite.
Using the product in this manner also may result in a loss of performance
and a shortened life expectancy.
• If the battery is damaged and ignites, do not use water to extinguish
flames. Instead, use a functioning fire extinguisher.
• Do not step on, throw, or drop batteries or the power supply or expose
them to a strong shock. Do not pierce, crush, dent, or deform the batteries
or power supply in any way. If either becomes deformed, properly dispose
of it.
• Do not short-circuit batteries. Avoid storing them around metal objects
such as keys, pocket change, paper clips, and jewelry.
• Do not dismantle, open, or shred the battery.
• The battery is intended to be used only with the Bose product and the
power supply provided with it.

Operating on battery power
A fully charged battery provides approximately three
hours of use if the SoundLink™ system is set to
maximum volume. However, the rate of battery
discharge varies with the type of music played and the
volume setting. You can extend the battery operating
time significantly by lowering the volume.
The battery status light on the SoundLink speaker
indicates when charging the battery is necessary.
See “Charging the battery” on page 9.
Manual battery check
The battery light is normally off to conserve battery
power. To check the charge level, press and hold the
remote Off button and observe the battery light color.
When to replace the battery
The battery should be replaced when:
• The battery status light remains yellow after 10 hours
of charging
• The period of battery operation decreases
Battery protection mode
If the SoundLink system is unplugged and unused for
more than 14 days, it enters battery protection mode to
preserve battery power. Your system is in this state when
you first set it up. To reactivate your SoundLink system,
connect the power supply to the SoundLink speaker and
charge the battery.
