READ INSTRUCTIONS

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral

triangle alerts the user to the presence of uninsulated, dangerous voltage within the system enclosure that may be of sufficient

magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle alerts the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions in this owner’s guide.

WARNINGS and CAUTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product 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.

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 recharge 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 short-circuit batteries. Avoid storing them around metal objects such as keys, pocket change, paper clips, and jewelry.

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.

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.

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the product.

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.

After extended periods of storage, it may be necessary to charge and discharge the battery several times to obtain maximum performance.

The cells in the batteries perform best when operating at normal room temperature, 70°F (20°C).

We recommend replacing the SoundDock® system battery with a genuine SoundDock battery from Bose or an authorized Bose dealer. Bose cannot warrant the safety and compatibility or assure the operability of batteries from other manufacturers for use in operating the SoundDock Portable system. DO NOT attempt to use the SoundDock battery to power other electronics. Doing so may result in permanent damage to your system and/or personal injury.

Product labels are located on the bottom of the product and on the battery.

Please dispose of a used or damaged battery promptly and properly, following all local regulations. Do not incinerate.

USING YOUR NEW MUSIC SYSTEM

Taking advantage of two power sources

When your new SoundDock® Portable system is plugged into an AC (mains) outlet, it charges both the system battery and your iPod (playing or not). When your system is not plugged in, it draws from battery power.

CAUTION: Use this system only with the attached battery or a replacement battery from Bose.

IAttaching the power supply

There is no need to remove the SoundDock Portable system battery when you attach the AC power supply. The system automatically draws from this power supply. To connect it:

1.If there is more than one power plug adapter in the carton, choose the one that is proper for your area or country.

Do not use an adapter that is labeled for use in another country.

IMPORTANT IN CHINA AND KOREA ONLY:

A clip for use in your country is labeled on the outside of the small bag that contains it. Be sure to use that adapter only.

2.Attach the adapter to the power supply (A).

3.Insert the free end of the power cable into the connector on the SoundDock

system (B).

4.Plug the power supply into an AC (mains) power outlet (C).*

CAUTION: Use this system only with the

provided power supply or a replacement power supply from Bose: P/N 301141 or P/N 306386.

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.

CAUTION: Refer to the important safety instructions at the beginning of this guide for WARNINGS and CAUTIONS.

Exploring the other features

Portability is an important element in the design and features of your SoundDock Portable system. The system also contains several unique features.
