PLEASE NOTE:
Your device will have an internal amplifier
and if it is playing digital files like MP3s it
will also have an integrated DAC (Digital
Audio Converter). If you turn up the volume
to 100%, your device will be sending distorted
signals to the speaker. To avoid this and to
get the best sound quality from the speaker,
we recommend that you do not run your
device any higher than 95% volume.
Please DON’T:
• Get the speaker wet
• Drop the speaker as this will
invalidate your warranty
• Open up the speaker as there are
no user serviceable parts inside
• Expose the speaker to extreme
temperatures or rapid changes
of hot to cold or vice versa
Please DO:
• Clean the speaker with a soft dry
cloth and no detergents
