Battery Information
The TMS-1560 is a Lithium battery powered PA loudspeaker. Be sure that you have completely charged the battery prior to first use to maximize battery's lifespan.
Once the power adapter is connected to a power source, it will automatically begin charging (approximately 4-5 hours to fully charge the lithium battery). Even if the battery power is low, the unit will power on when connected to a power source.
When the battery power is charging, the battery indicator light is red. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator light will turn off. Upon completion of the charging, please disconnect the unit.
When not in use, the speaker should always be set to OFF to prevent the unit from draining the battery. When the unit is not used for prolonged periods of time, the battery will gradually lose its power. It is recommended to fully charge the battery at least every 60 days.
