Does this need to be charged prior to it working / I have it plugged in and just see red light, now sound

Yes, it does need to be charged. I would not connect it with the sound source until it is charged.

I do not think it was charged at first. When I plug it in, it lights up yellow/orange. Then when charged, it goes dark. But when I turn it on with the switch it flashed blue.... its in pairing mode. Then it connects

You push the small button on the end next to the USB port. The red light should come on if it is charging.

sounds like the battery is going or needs a full 24 hr charge - check the initial instructions to see if you missed a step

Agree with other 2, make sure it charged because that's how you turn it on. I've had no trouble with mine, works beautifully.

When you plug it in, a red light comes on. When the light comes off it's charged.

Mine emitted a red glow from the port were the battery plugs in but it never indicated when it was done charging. The directions said it would glow green when it was ready, but it did not. It simply stopped glowing red. I hope this helps. If not, you may need to contact the manufacturer and tell them the issue.

I use the USB cord plugged into my computer or laptop and let it go. The red light on top will turn green when finished, usually about an hour or 2 max. I would advise that if the red light does not go away, first check your connection, after that maybe your device is defective. I really love my Brick, hope you figure this out, it's has nice sound and very compact. Good luck.

Mine is green all the time, unless I pull it out of the wall and use it. Then when I plug it back in, it's red for a time and then goes back to green. So I assume red is "charging" and green is "charged."

Mine arrived charged and has operated without incident since I installed it. Sounds like you may have a charger issue.

Charged? I didn't have to charge it. I just plugged it in.If the clock doesn't turn on send it back

Actually, I don't know if it was pre-charged since I just connected it and left it. My electricity will have to go out before I know if it was charged. Thank you for asking cause I need to check it out! Sorry I cannot answer your question.

The light is red when charging. But if it doesn't hold the charge perhaps it would be best to email the seller with this question.

You have to fully charge it via the USB cable before you use it. Once it's charged the indicator light will come on. If it doesn't. There may be something wrong with the charger

The red light should turn on. Perhaps you don't have it set well? That happened to me. It took some twisting and turning to get the light to come on. Check the phone. It should show the phone charging if it is working properly.

Hi. I started charging mine as soon as I unboxed it. It had some charge to it but not 100%. So far mine is ok but I hope both of us didn't get a refurbished product. Maybe someone else will reply too.

Hi Thomas Q., I ordered mine and plugged it in and I believe it has charged the batteries. I will check tonight when I get home to see if they were fully charged and let you know. I do know the charger red light came on when I plugged it in which should signify it is working and charging.FD
