6. First Use and Charging (Operating)

After installing the new battery, it is recommended to fully charge it before the first use.

1. Connect your Bang & Olufsen speaker to its original power adapter.
2. Allow the speaker to charge until the charging indicator shows a full charge. This may take several hours.
3. Once fully charged, you can disconnect the speaker and begin using it wirelessly.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance can help extend the life of your battery:

• Avoid Deep Discharges: Do not regularly allow the battery to completely drain to 0%. Recharge it when the charge level is low.
• Avoid Overcharging: While modern batteries have protection circuits, it's good practice to disconnect the charger once the battery is full, especially if storing the device.
• Store Properly: If storing the speaker for an extended period, ensure the battery is charged to approximately 50-70% and store it in a cool, dry place.
• Temperature: Operate and store the battery within recommended temperature ranges (typically 0°C to 45°C / 32°F to 113°F). Extreme temperatures can degrade battery performance and life.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your new battery, consider the following:

• Battery Not Charging:
  • Ensure the power adapter is working and properly connected to the speaker and a power outlet.
  • Verify that the battery connector inside the speaker is securely attached.
  • Try a different compatible charging cable or adapter if available.
• Short Battery Life:
  • Ensure the battery was fully charged before use.
  • Check if the speaker's volume or other settings are excessively high, which can consume more power.
  • Confirm the battery is correctly installed and making proper contact.
• Speaker Not Powering On:
  • Ensure the battery is charged.
  • Verify all internal connections are secure after installation.
  • Connect the speaker to its power adapter to see if it powers on when plugged in.
