Beosound A5 standby modes

Beosound A5 offers three different power states when running on battery, and each mode uses a different amount of battery power: 

Networked standby

The speaker enters Networked standby after playback has been paused for three minutes, or if a Standby command is sent from the Bang & Olufsen app or a paired remote.
In Networked standby, the speaker remains connected to the network and can be woken remotely from the Bang & Olufsen app, a connected device, or the speaker controls.

A fully charged battery lasts a minimum of 24 hours in Networked Standby mode (when "Automatic standby" is disabled).

Standby mode The speaker enters Standby mode (sleep mode) after 90 minutes of inactivity when battery-operated*, or when you press and hold the power button for approximately 2 seconds. Important: Pressing and holding the power button for 2 seconds does not switch the speaker off completely. The speaker remains ready for use and continues to consume a small amount of battery power. To wake the speaker, press the power button or connect the charging cable to mains power. A fully charged battery lasts up to 7 days in Standby mode.   * Automatic standby can be disabled in the Bang & Olufsen app.

Storage mode

If you do not plan to use your speaker for an extended period, place it in Storage mode.

1. Disconnect the charging cable from the speaker.
2. Press and hold the power button for approximately 8 seconds.
3. You will hear two beeps followed by one beep, confirming that Storage mode has been activated.

In Storage mode, the speaker is fully powered off and consumes virtually no power other than normal battery self-discharge.

To switch the speaker on again, connect it to a power supply.

A fully charged battery lasts a minimum of 1 year in Storage mode.
