On the power cord

  • The supplied AC power cord (mains lead) is designed exclusively for this speaker. It should not be used in combination with any other devices.

  • Completely disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead) from the AC outlet (mains) if it is not going to be used for an extended period of time. When unplugging the AC power cord (mains lead), always grip the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

On placement

  • To eliminate the risk of malfunctions, avoid the following locations when placing or leaving this speaker.

    • A place subject to high temperatures, such as under direct sunlight or lighting equipment, near a heat source, or in a sauna

    • A place exposed to hot air, such as from a hair dryer

    • A place subject to excessive dust

    • A place subject to strong vibration

  • Place this speaker on a flat, level surface. When placed on a sloped surface, the speaker may fall over or fall off the surface due to its own vibration, resulting in injuries, malfunctions, or performance degradation.

  • This speaker is not anti-magnetic. Keep objects susceptible to magnetism (recorded tapes, watches, cash cards and credit cards with magnetic coding, etc.) away from the speaker. When you carry around the speaker, keep this in mind as well.

  • If your skin remains in contact with the handle for a long time while the light is turned on, there is a risk of low-temperature burns. To carry a speaker while it is powered on, turn the light (lighting function) off.

  • Should any solid object or liquid fall into the speaker, unplug the speaker and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
