How it works
The device operates either from an M18 battery or AC mains power. Select your desired source—Bluetooth pairing, AUX input, AM/FM/DAB+ channel—using the mode selector buttons. While playing audio through the integrated speakers in any position on your PACKOUT stack, batteries inserted in the bay will automatically be charged when plugged into mains supply [3][5]. Mobile devices can also charge via USB port simultaneously during use.
