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