  3. Allow approximately 3-4 hours for a full charge. The charging indicator light will change when charging is complete.

Attaching Ground Stakes:

For outdoor use, the included ground stakes can be attached to the bottom of each speaker.

  1. Align the top of the ground stake with the opening at the bottom of the speaker.
  2. Twist the stake clockwise until it is securely fastened.
  3. To remove, twist counter-clockwise.
