Charging an External Device
The POWER OUT jack can be used to charge most devices that allow for USB charging
(including many mobile phones, smart phones and wireless headsets).
Connect one end of USB power cord (not supplied) to POWER OUT port of the system, and the
other end to your USB device.
When Sound Kick 2 is using the power supply, simply connect your device to Sound Kick 2 to
begin charging.
When Sound Kick 2 is using the power of built-in battery, connect your device to Sound Kick 2,
and turn on the system to begin charging.
Notes:
Please use the USB power cord that came with your USB chargeable device to connect to
Sound Kick 2 to charge.
When using the built-in battery power, if the battery power is less than 15%, the charging
function will be unavailable.
When the system is operating by built-in battery only and charging external device at the
same time, when the built-in battery power level is low, it is suggested to keep playback
volume to low/medium level to avoid sudden turn off the system when the built-in battery is
drained off by the external device

Optimizing Sound Quality
TM is proprietary technology that enhances stereo separation. You can enable/disable the
UQ3 by pressing the button, and the LED indicator will indicate UQ3 current status.
UQ3 Status LED indicator
Using the battery power Charging the battery
ON Blinks once in white Blinks once in green
OFF Blinks twice in white Blinks twice in green
TIP: Sound Kick 2 has been tuned to a balanced acoustic profile. You can use the EQ settings
on your playback device to further customize the EQ balance to suit your personal preference.
Note: Some custom EQ settings when combined with UQ3 enhancement may cause distortion.
TIP: For playback in Bluetooth or Aux mode, the output volume is set by both the volume control
on Sound Kick 2 and the source device. Both may be adjusted to set your preferred listening
volume. Typically, sound quality is best when the volume of the source device is between
70~90%. Note: As with any speaker system, if the volume on both your source device and the
speaker are at maximum output, it is possible to overdrive the speakers and cause distortion.
When using an iOS device or other device that offers a “volume limit” feature, turn this setting off
for higher volume listening in Bluetooth or Aux mode.
