SoundStation2W™ User Guide - 23
Charging
SoundStation2W™ operates on a 
rechargeable lithium ion battery.  The 
battery needs to be recharged peri-
odically.  Use the supplied charger 
to recharge the battery while it is 
installed in the console.  In similar 
fashion to a laptop PC or a mobile 
phone, the SoundStation2W™ can 
be used or continue operation while 
being charged.  The battery cannot be 
recharged outside the console.  
►  Optimum battery performance 
may be achieved only after the 
battery is conditioned.  The battery 
will have to go through four to ve 
charge and discharge cycles before 
reaching optimum performance.
►  Talk time is measured for natu-
ral conversation at optimum volume 
levels.
