INTRODUCTION  
• The speaker should not be placed in small  
areas that are enclosed on all sides except  
the front, as this will adversely affect sound  
quality.  
• Do not place the speaker on wet or dirty  
surfaces. Doing so could transfer dirt, sand,  
or moisture onto the speaker when the  
cover is closed.  
Placing the speaker  
When using your SoundLink® Bluetooth®  
Mobile speaker II indoors, the tonal quality  
can vary depending on where the speaker is  
placed in a room. When moving the speaker  
around within a room or from room to room,  
keep the following guidelines in mind:  
• The speaker is designed to sound best  
when placed on a shelf, counter, desk, or  
tabletop that is 24 to 48 inches high.  
If you are using your speaker outdoors, you  
should expect the tonal quality to change as  
you move farther from the speaker.  
• For best bass response, the speaker should  
be placed near a wall; bass response  
decreases as the speaker is placed closer  
to the center of a room.  
• When operating the speaker, always use the  
cover as a stand. Do not lay the speaker on  
its back. Sound is emitted from both the  
front and rear of the unit.

• While the Bluetooth® source is selected, if  
no device connects within 30 minutes, the  
speaker turns itself off.  
Pairing occurs when two Bluetooth devices  
communicate with each other and establish a  
connection. A record of information about this  
connection is then stored in the memory of  
each device. Once you pair a device with the  
SoundLink® Mobile speaker II, you should not  
have to pair it again.  
The SoundLink® Mobile speaker II can pair  
with up to six Bluetooth devices. However, it  
can only connect to, and play audio from one  
device at a time.

a portable digital music player, with your  
SoundLink® Mobile speaker II. This requires  
using an audio cable with a 3.5 mm plug on  
one end to connect with the AUX input on the  
SoundLink® Mobile speaker II system.

OPERATION  
Charging the battery  
Operating on battery power  
The battery status indicator on the SoundLink®  
Mobile speaker II glows red when the battery  
needs charging. The battery can be charged  
whether the cover is opened or closed. You can  
use the speaker while charging the battery.  
A fully charged battery provides approximately  
three hours of use at maximum volume. The  
rate of battery discharge varies with the volume  
setting. You can extend the battery playback  
time by reducing the volume.  
To charge the battery, connect the power  
supply to the speaker and plug it into a live  
AC (mains) outlet. The speaker emits a tone  
to confirm the power connection. Recom-  
mended charging time is 3 hours. The battery  
status indicator indicates charging status.

conserve battery power. To check the charge  
level, press and hold the power button and  
observe the battery indicator.  
Green: ............. 70% or more of full charge  
Yellow: ............ 20% to 70% of full charge  
Red: ................ 20% or less (charge needed)  
Yellow: .......Battery charging

®
Note: Do not store your SoundLink Mobile speaker  
Battery protection mode  
II for extended periods when the battery status  
indicator is red.  
When the SoundLink® Mobile speaker II is  
unplugged and unused for more than 14  
days, it enters battery protection mode to  
preserve battery power. To reactivate the  
speaker, connect it to AC (mains) power.
