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
