Important Information
Safety
Important safety instructions:
- Ensure the voltage of the power cord matches the voltage indicated on the device or underneath it.
- The speaker must not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
- Do not place any heat sources on the unit (e.g., items filled with liquid, burning candles).
- Ensure there is enough space around the speaker for ventilation.
- Use the speaker safely in an environment with a temperature range of 0-40°C.
- Use only accessories and attachments specified by the manufacturer.
- Do not let the product come into contact with liquids if the cabling is disconnected. Do not let the product come into contact with water during charging. This can cause permanent damage to the speaker or power supply. Chemicals, salt, or foreign objects in a pool or ocean can damage waterproof seals or connection surfaces over time. After liquid splashes or rinsing, do not charge the speaker until it is completely dry and clean. Water can damage the speaker during charging.
Battery Safety Precautions
- Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with a battery of the same or equivalent type.
- Avoid exposing the battery (installed, battery pack, or batteries) to excessive heat (direct sunlight, open flame, etc.).
- Battery use, storage, or transport at extremely high or low temperatures, and low air pressure at high altitudes, may pose a safety risk.
- Do not replace the battery with an incorrect type of battery, which may damage the protective mechanism (e.g., some types of lithium batteries).
- Disposing of a battery in a fire or hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting a battery, may cause an explosion.
- Leaving a battery in an extremely high-temperature or very low-pressure environment may cause an explosion or leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
Product Care
- Clean the product only with a microfiber cloth.
- Remember that the device has built-in lithium batteries. The capacity of lithium batteries decreases over time due to self-discharge. To ensure the longevity of the device's battery, it is recommended to charge the built-in lithium battery to about 50% every six months if the device is not in use.
Caution
- Never remove the speaker casing.
- Never oil any part of the speaker.
- Place the speaker on a flat, hard, and stable surface.
- Never place the speaker on another electrical device.
- Use the speaker indoors only. Keep the speaker away from water, moisture, and items filled with liquid.
