Rechargeable Batteries Rechargeable lead-acid batteries are the same type used in automobiles. As with your car battery, how you use this battery has a significant impact on its lifespan. With proper use and treatment, a lead-acid battery can last for years. Here are some recommendations for getting the longest life from the internal battery. General Usage Fully charge the battery before using the speaker. Charge the battery completely after each use. Storage For best product longevity, do not store at exceedingly hot (greater than 90 °F / 32 °C) or exceedingly cold (less than 32 °F / 0 °C) temperatures. It is acceptable to leave your speaker plugged in. This will not overcharge the battery. If you leave the battery level low and do not charge it for 6 months, it may permanently lose capacity. Repair If the battery fails to charge, contact Denon Professional at denonpro.com. Disposal Bring the unit to a recycling center or dispose of in accordance with local ordinances.3 Important Safety Precautions Please note: Denon Professional and inMusic are not responsible for the use of its products or the misuse of this information for any purpose.

Using the Aux Input Connect your smartphone, MP3 player, or similar device to the Aux Input. Adjust the output volume on your source device and then adjust the overall volume using the Aux Input Volume Control on Convoy.9 Troubleshooting If the sound is distorted: Try lowering the volume control of your sound source, musical instrument, or microphone. Also, try to reduce the overall volume of Convoy using the Master Volume knob. If there is too much bass: Try adjusting the Bass control on Convoy and on your sound source to lower the bass level. This will allow you to play the music louder before clipping (distortion) occurs. If there is a high-pitched whistling noise when using microphones: This is probably feedback. Point the microphone away from the speaker. If you can’t hear the microphone over the music volume: Turn down the music volume from your source. If you can't hear your instrument: Check the setting of the Line/Mic/Wireless Mic switch. If you are using an instrument with passive pickups, set the switch to the Mic setting. If you can’t play music from a flash drive: The USB port is only for charging USB devices. If you cannot connect your audio device to Convoy via Bluetooth:

• Have your audio device (e.g., smartphone or tablet) and Convoy as close together as possible while trying to connect. Make sure both the audio device and Convoy are unobstructed by walls, furniture, etc.

• Reset the Bluetooth connection on Convoy to disconnect Convoy from any other audio device and restart the search process. If this does not work right away, power off Convoy and then power it back on. See Pairing a Bluetooth Device for more information.
