TWS INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Power on speakers, and press the PAIR button to pair each speaker. The speakers do NOT have
to be paired in any particular order, and both should be available for pairing. 2. Use the TWS button on each speaker to determine which speaker is the primary (left channel) and

BATTERY INFORMATION
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Do not short circuit the battery. Avoid subjecting the battery to a short circuit, as doing so generates a very high current, resulting in overheating, electrolyte gel leakage, harmful fumes, explosion risk, or other damage to the battery.
Mechanical shock. Dropping, impacting, striking, or bending the unit, or subjecting the unit to any other types of mechanical shock may cause failure or shortend life of the battery.
Do not disassemble the batteries. Never disassemble the batteries, as doing so may result in an internal short circuit in the battery, leading to fire, explosion, release of harmful fumes, or other hazards. Electrolyte gel is harmful, and contact should be avoided whenever possible. Should the electrolyte gel come into contact with the skin or eyes, flush the area of contact immediately with fresh water and seek medical attention immediately.
Do not expose battery to heat or fire. Never incinerate or dispose of the batteries in fire, as this could result in an explosion.
Do not exposre the battery to water or liquids. Never expose or immerse the batteries in liquids of any type, including water, seawater, soft drinks, juices, coffee, or other beverages.
Battery Replacement. For battery replacement please contact customer support.
Never use a damaged battery. Shipping carries a risk of damage to the battery. Should damage be observed, including damage to the plastic casing of the battery, deformation of the battery package, chemical or electrolyte odor, or leakage of the electrolyte gel, or any other miscellaneous damage, DO NOT use the battery. A battery with a odor of electrolyte or a gel leakage should be placed away from fire to avoid risk of fire or explosion.
Battery Storage. The battery should be stored at room temperature, with a charge of at least 50%. During long periods of storage, it is recommended that the battery be charged every 6 months. Doing so will prolong the life of the battery and will also make sure that the battery charge does not fall below the 30% mark.
Other Chemical Reactions. Because batteries rely on a chemical reaction to work, battery performance will deteriorate over time, even if stored for a long period of time without being used. In addition, if various usage conditions (such as charge, discharge, ambient temperature, etc.) are not maintained within the specified ranges, the life expectancy of the battery maybe shortened or the device in which the battery is used may be damaged by electrolyte gel leakage. If the batteries cannot maintain a charge for long periods of time, even when they are charged correctly, this may indicate the need to replace the battery.
Battery Disposal. Please dispose of battery according to local regulations.

BATTERY INFORMATION
BATTERY STATUS DURING OPERATION: · Four (4) steady indicator lights = 75% to 100% charge · Three (3) steady indicator lights = 51% to 74% charge · Two (2) steady indicator lights = 26% to 50% charge · One (1) steady indicator light = 11% to 25% charge · One (1) blinking indicator light = 10% charge or less BATTERY STATUS DURING CHARGING: · Four (4) steady indicator lights = 91% to 100% charge · Three (3) steady indicator lights + one (1) blinking indicator light = 71% to 90% charge · Two (2) steady indicator lights + two (2) blinking indicator lights = 46% to 70% charge · One (1) steady indicator light + three (3) blinking indictor lights = 21% to 45% charge · Four (4) blinking indicator lights = 20% charge or less BATTERY RECHARGING: To recharge the battery, plug one end of the supplied AC cord into the AC input on the side of the unit, and the other end into a matching power supply. It is recommended to disconnect the unit from the charger once the battery has reached full charge. Doing so reduces the risk of overcharging the battery, which can shorten the service life of the battery. NOTE: When unplugging the unit from charging and then applying power via battery, there will be a small charge drop.
