The XP208w has an internal, rechargeable battery
capable of up to 20 hours of continuous audio
on a full charge.
Even though the system may have
some charge when first taken out of the box, it is
recommended to fully charge your XP208w before first
using the system.
To charge the battery:
1. Connect the XP208w to an AC power outlet
using the included power cable.
2. Set the power switch to the “RECHARGE”
position.
3. While charging the CHARGING indicator will
light red.
4. Keep the system plugged in until the
CHARGING indicator changes to green,
indicating the battery is fully charged.
If you find that the operation time of the XP208w
becomes noticeably decreased, even after fully
charging, the battery should be replaced. Contact
Samson customer service or your local distributor
for a replacement battery.
Charging the Battery
The XP208w utilizes a sealed lead-acid gel cell battery. When not in
use, the battery will slowly self-discharge. If you are planning not to
use the XP208w for a long period of time, it is advised to fully charge
the unit before storing.
It is also important to charge the unit every six months when not used.
This will ensure a healthy battery and extend its life. If the battery
is left with a very low charge for an extended period of time, it is
possible to recharge the battery to working condition, but the charge
time can take up to 72 hours.
