About Bluetooth capabilities
The wireless capability of the Bose® wireless computer speaker is based on Bluetooth wireless technology. This means that the speaker can be paired with third-party Bluetooth devices such as stereo Bluetooth mobile phones that support the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP).
Because implementation of this wireless technology differs, specific device compatibility, audio quality, as well as wireless range and performance may vary. For most devices, maximum wireless range will be around 30 ft.
Note: The computer will remain in the SoundLink
®
memory and will automatically reconnect if you plug in the USB key and then power on the wireless computer speaker. For information on how to manually pair the USB key back to the speaker, see “Restoring the wireless link” on page 20.

• Yellow – Battery power is between 20% and 70%.
• Yellow – Battery is charging (if the system is plugged in).
• Red (solid) – Battery power is 20% or less.
• Red (blinking) – Recharging is required.
• Red, yellow, green (cycle) – Optional battery is not installed.
• Off – Battery is fully charged or the system is off.
More to know about the optional battery
Plugging in the power supply recharges the battery. The indicator light glows yellow, then green when the battery is at or above 70% of power.
• 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.
• If the system is unplugged and unused for many days, the system enters battery power protection mode. Plugging in the power supply is the only means to reactivate the system.
• With the battery fully charged and the system playing at full volume, the battery provides approximately three hours of play.
• Lowering the volume extends the battery power significantly.
• There is very little depletion of battery power when the wireless computer speaker is not in use.
CAUTION: Please carefully read and follow the important safety
instructions included with the battery.
