USING
YOUR NEW MUSIC
SYSTEM
Using the battery
The battery on the SoundDock _ Portable system is partially charged before shipping. However, during shipping the
system enters a protection mode to preserve battery power. Plugging in the power supply returns the system to active
operation and charges the battery as needed.
For information on using a backup battery, refer to "Installing a new SoundDock
Portable system battery" on page 9.
Battery operation
Volume level and music type affect the rate of battery discharge. A fully charged battery provides approximately
three
hours of use when the SoundDock

a lower volume.
• A quick way to check the battery power level is to press and hold the remote control Off button. Then notice the color of
the light on the front of the SoundDock
Portable system. For details, refer to "Noticing the indicator lights" on page 8.
• There is very little depletion of battery power when the SoundDock
Portable system is not in use.
• A blinking red light on the front of the system indicates when the battery needs to be recharged. Recharging the battery
may take up to 10 hours (whether it is playing or not).
• Plugging in the power supply recharges the battery, as indicated by the yellow light on the front of the system.
• 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.
• When it is unplugged and unused for 14 days or more, the system enters battery power protection mode. Plugging in
the power supply is the only means to reactivate the system.
