Allow the unit to charge for

approximately twelve hours for
a full charge.

3

Disconnect the AC cord and the

fully charged unit is now ready
for use. Battery life can last
up to 25 hours depending on
playback operations.

Attention: The sound volume will adjust automatically when the battery is not full.

Note: If you experience battery issues, contact customer service.
