.
The time stated above may vary depending on the ambient temperature or conditions of use.
When the battery is running low
When the CHG (charge) indicator flashes slowly in orange, the battery is running low and needs to be charged.
Recommended system environment of computer for USB charging
Windows® 10, Windows® 8.1, Windows® 8, Windows® 7 SP1, Mac OS X (version 10.6 - 10.12)
Operation in all computers with the above environment is not guaranteed.
Operation in a home-built computer is not covered by the warranty.
Hint
A speaker that is in use can be charged if it is connected to a booted computer or AC outlet via a USB AC adaptor (not supplied). In this case, it
may take longer to charge the battery than compared to the speaker is turned off depending on the conditions of use. Therefore, it is
recommended to turn off the speaker when charging.
Note
When you use the speaker at a loud volume, the battery may run low even if the speaker is connected to a booted computer. If you want to use
the speaker while charging, lower the volume of the speaker. Otherwise, turn off the speaker and charge the battery sufficiently.
When you use the speaker at a loud volume for a long time, the battery may run low even if the speaker is connected to a booted computer. As a
result, sound becomes low. This is not a malfunction. Turn off the speaker and charge the battery sufficiently.
When you switch the power source between a booted computer/AC outlet and battery by connecting/disconnecting the USB cable, the speaker
may stop sound output for a short while. This is not a malfunction.
When using the speaker for the first time, be sure to charge the battery for more than 1 hour before turning on the power.
In an extremely cold or hot environment, charging stops for safety. If charging takes a long time, it also makes charging of the speaker stop. In
these conditions, the CHG (charge) indicator keeps flashing in orange quickly, but this is not a malfunction. To resolve these issues, disconnect the
micro-USB cable and connect it again within the operating temperature between 5 °C and 35 °C (41 °F and 95 °F).
Do not charge in places where water may splash.
Even if you do not intend to use the speaker for a long time, charge the battery sufficiently once every 6 months to maintain its performance.

Notes on water resistant feature
Water resistant performance of the speaker
The speaker has a water resistant specification
*1*2
and IPX5
*3
as specified in “Degrees of protection against ingress of water” of
the IEC60529 “Ingress Protection Rating (IP Code).” However, the speaker is not completely water-tight.
Do not drop the speaker into hot water in a bathtub or purposely use it in water. Depending on usage, water entering the speaker
may cause fire, electric shock or malfunction.
Use the speaker with full understanding of the following.
Liquids that the water resistant performance specifications apply to
Applicable: fresh water, tap water
Not applicable: liquids other than the above (soapy water, water with detergent or bath agents, shampoo, hot spring water, hot
water, pool water, seawater, etc.)
The water resistant performance of the speaker is based on our measurements under the conditions herein described. Note that
malfunctions as a result of water immersion caused by misuse by the customer are not covered by the warranty.
To avoid the deterioration of the water resistant performance
Check the following and use the speaker correctly.
Do not use or leave the speaker in an extremely hot or cold environment (temperature outside the range of 5 °C – 35 °C (41
°F – 95 °F)). If the speaker is used or left in outside the above range, the speaker may automatically stop to protect internal
circuitry.
Be careful not to drop the speaker or subject it to mechanical shock. Deformation or damage may cause deterioration of the
water resistant performance.
Do not use the speaker in a location where large amount of water or hot water may splash on it. The speaker does not have a
design that is resistant to water pressure. Use of the speaker in the above location may cause a malfunction.
Do not pour high-temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any other appliance on the speaker directly. Also,
never use the speaker in high temperature locations such as in saunas or near a stove.
Handle the cap
with care. The cap plays a very important role in maintenance of the water resistant performance. When
using the speaker, make sure that the cap is closed completely. When closing the cap, be careful not to allow foreign objects
inside. Mark is on the upper side of the cap. If the cap is not closed completely the water resistant performance may
deteriorate and may cause a malfunction of the speaker as a result of water entering the speaker.
Requires that the cap is fastened securely.
*1
The supplied accessories are not water resistant.
*2
IPX5 (Degree of protection against jets of water): The speaker has been tested and found to remain functional after exposure to direct jet streams of
water using a nozzle of 6.3 mm (about 1/4 in) internal diameter from any direction where approximately 12.5 L/min of water is applied for a period of
more than 3 minutes from a distance of about 3 meters (about 10 ft).

What is BLUETOOTH wireless technology?
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital
devices, such as a computer and digital camera. BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (about
30 ft).
Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time.
You do not need to use a cable for connection, nor is it necessary for the devices to face one another (such is the case with
infrared technology). For example, you can use the device in a bag or pocket.
BLUETOOTH standard is an international standard supported by thousands of companies all over the world and employed by
various companies worldwide.
Maximum communication range
Maximum communication range may shorten under the following conditions.
There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall between the speaker and BLUETOOTH device.
A wireless LAN device is in use near the speaker.
A microwave oven is in use near the speaker.
A device that generates electromagnetic radiation is in use near the speaker.
Interference from other devices
Because BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency, microwave interference may occur
and result in communication speed deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if the speaker is used near a wireless LAN device. In
such a case, perform the following.
Use the speaker at least 10 m (about 30 ft) away from the wireless LAN device.
If the speaker is used within 10 m (about 30 ft) of a wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device.
Interference to other devices
Microwaves emitted from a BLUETOOTH device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off the speaker and
other BLUETOOTH devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident.
where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, train, airplane, or a gas station
near automatic doors or a fire alarm
Note
To be able to use the BLUETOOTH function, the BLUETOOTH device to be connected requires the same profile as the speaker’s. Note also that
even if the same profile exists, devices may vary in function depending on their specifications.
Due to the characteristic of BLUETOOTH wireless technology, the sound played on the speaker is slightly delayed from the sound played on the
BLUETOOTH device while talking on the telephone or listening to music.
The speaker supports security capabilities that comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH
wireless technology is used, but security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be careful when communicating using BLUETOOTH
wireless technology.
73
We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of information during BLUETOOTH communication.
A device featuring the BLUETOOTH function is required to conform to the BLUETOOTH standard specified by Bluetooth SIG and be
authenticated. Even if the connected device conforms to the above mentioned BLUETOOTH standard, some devices may not be connected or
work correctly, depending on the features or specifications of the device.
Noise or sound skips may occur depending on the BLUETOOTH device connected with the speaker, the communication environment or the usage
environment.
The device with a built-in radio or tuner cannot be connected to the speaker via BLUETOOTH since noise may occur in broadcasts.
Locate the speaker farther away from a TV, radio or tuner, etc. since noise may occur in broadcasts.
