After using the device 3 or 4 time, it emits a tone every 3 or 4 minutes. Is it telling me that it needs recharging?

Well it should only do that if it's low yes. Do you use it everyday ? Or majority of your day?

Wish I had an answer. I've noticed that about mine as well. I set the duration for 10 seconds, and it only dumps for 5 on the timer.

I assume that tried charging it for extended periods of time with no success? I can only assume that you have a faulty product, since I haven't run into that issue yet and it can play for several before needing to charge it.

Pamela, I am not an audiologist, just a consumer. It appears to me, given your phonation mic = Phonak Remote mic, the mic's battery might need replacement. How old is your device and how often do you use it? It sounds like you device cannot hold a charge longer than 20 minutes.Best wishes in resolving this issue. Terry

NO! Two Sharkk representatives have verified this for me in the past month! I was using this speaker to play nature sounds as I slept and inevitably the low battery indicator would beep and wake me in the middle of the night. If the battery begins with a full charge it might appear to operate off AC while it is plugged in, but it is actually still operating off of battery power (this directly from Sharkk) and apparently either discharges at a faster rate than it charges, or, does not charge while in use. This is accurate as of the date of this post and it is always possible that Sharkk will change this on future versions of this model as they have apparently upgraded other features. NO!

No, that's not normal at all, it sounds like you have a really bad battery. If you are using the rechargeable lithium ion batteries that comes with it, then you probably have one that has gone bad, I would stop using it immediately, and certainly don't try to recharge it.

It plays music for sure but mine is out of juice as we speak and now hooked up to my puter but perhaps I have skipped something. Seems like it ought to charge and maybe mine was turned off after playing.I'm not mych help, I guess.

There is no warning when it neefs a recharge. It just stops working. It needs to be recharged after only a few hours of use. Hope this helped

Not here. I would unplug it and see if it still happens and if it doesnt, I would assume its something to do with the volume dial.

It will only do that if it isn't fully charged. If it continues, you got a lemon. Mine beeps if the power goes off or if I use it before it recharges if I happen to leave it on for a while during a power outage.

No. It sounds like a defective unit. The LEDs should only flash when charging.

It is not rechargeable! It's a fully charged battery. If it's not running your device, alarm, etc. it's either the wrong battery or defective.

HiThe higher the volume the shorter the battery charge life. I consistently get 8 hours plus but I only have the volume on talking level. Make sure you give the unit a "soaking" charge ( ie overnight)

No. In fact it should play while your even charging it. Looks like you my have a lemon. I would exchange. It's worth the time. It's an awesome little speaker for the money. Also it will last a very long time on a charge.

It's rechargeable so you can plug it in when it's dying. My battery lasts 3 hours at the most. It might be a defective one, or that might be normal. I am not sure about that at this point.

nope. you need to recharge it again. depending on how humid your environment is, you may have to charge it once a week. I did not care for this product, and moved on to something else.

Hmm.. unsure .. ours goes for a while - we leave it charging when not in use, so it's always ready to use, and goes a fair length of time for us to clean up a250 square ft space rather well before starting to sound like it may be dying out. It's also a couple of years old, so I suspect the rechargeable battery is aging. Maybe you got a lemon?
