Dual-Purpose Battery
l
While charging, the AXX 200 does not go into
Standby mode.
l
For optimal charging, it is recommended to
keep the volume low while the AXX 200 is
being charged, or when charging an external
device (e.g.: phone, MP3 player, etc.).
l
When turned on, some external devices
require a higher charging rate than battery
banks can typically provide. For the quickest
charging time, turn off your external device
before charging it.
l
Lithium ion battery life may suffer when it is
constantly fully depleted or overexerted at
low voltage. It is a good practice to keep the
battery well charged.
l
When the battery is low while playing at loud
volumes, the amplifier will intelligently and
automatically adjust the volume to a lower
and appropriate level so as to extend the
battery life.
