NOTE: To preserve the con-

dition of the optional battery, 

leave the POWER button 

“out” when PlayDock MP3 

will be stored for more than 

a few weeks.

Battery Installation & Replacement

When the battery fails to operate the PlayDock for more 

than two to three hours after a 18 hour charge cycle, 

replacement is indicated. Cambridge SoundWorks stocks 

the replacement battery.

1) 

To install or replace the battery, remove the three 

screws on the left hand endcap (the endcap without the 

POWER switch.)

2a) 

If replacing the battery, note the red wire’s connector 

is attached to the battery’s red (positive) terminal. Detach 

both connectors from the battery terminals and slide out 

the battery.

2b)

 If your PlayDock did not have a battery inside, locate 

the loose battery wires inside the PlayDock. Remove the 

protective sleeve from the battery wire terminals. Note that 

one terminal has a red colored sleeve.

3)

 Attach the red wire’s connector to the red battery termi-

nal. Repeat for the other connector.

4) 

Slide the new battery inside the PlayDock.

5)

 Replace the endcap and charge the battery for at least 

12 hours prior to portable operation.
