Important Safety Instructions
Ensure the power supply voltage matches the voltage indicated on the back or bottom of the device. Do not expose the speaker to dripping or splashing. Do not place any hazardous sources on the speaker, such as objects filled with liquid or lit candles. Ensure adequate ventilation around the speaker. Use the speaker safely in environments with temperatures between 0°C and 40°C. Use only accessories specified by the manufacturer. Do not expose the product to liquids; do not detach the cable. Do not expose the product to water during charging, as this may cause irreversible damage to the speaker or power supply. Chemical substances, salt, or foreign objects in your pool or the ocean can damage the waterproof seals or connector surface over time if not rinsed after use. Do not charge the speaker until it is completely dry and clean after liquid splashes or rinsing. Charging a wet speaker may damage it.
Battery Precautions
Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace only with the same or equivalent type of battery. Do not expose the battery (built-in battery pack or battery) to excessive heat such as sunlight or fire. The battery's performance may be reduced when exposed to extreme temperatures during use, storage, or transportation, or when air pressure is low at high altitudes. Do not replace the battery with an incorrect type of battery (e.g., some types of lithium batteries), as this may damage the protection. Explosion hazard if the battery is disposed of in a fire or a hot oven, or if it is mechanically crushed or cut. Exposure of the battery to extremely high temperatures or extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
Product Care
Clean the product using only a microfiber cloth. Please note that your device contains built-in lithium batteries. Over time, the charging capacity of lithium batteries decreases due to self-discharge. To ensure the longevity of the device's battery, it is recommended to charge the built-in lithium battery to approximately 50% every 6 months when the device is not in use.
Warning
- Never remove the speaker housing.
- Never lubricate the speaker parts.
- Place the speaker on a flat, hard, and stable surface.
- Never place the speaker on other electronic equipment.
- Use the speaker indoors only. Protect the speaker from water, moisture, and objects filled with water.
