Charging your speaker - Battery status indication

Power Saving

For better user connectivity experience, the iRoar Go automatically enter
auto standby mode after approximately 28 hours of inactivity when the
power adapter is attached via a main outlet to the speaker. This power
saving mode can disabled via the iOS or Android mobile app if desired.

Note: The speaker automatically powers down after 15 minutes when
battery operated if there is no Bluetooth or USB connection, and no
audio recording/playback. This feature helps to protect the internal
battery and cannot be disabled.

Whenever the speaker is connected to the power adapter, the battery status
indicator will continually blink to indicate charging, or be continually lit to
indicate full charge.
