  The device is not suitable for commercial use.
• The speaker must be operated under moderate climatic conditions.

Safety

Children must not play with the item.
- The device contains a lithium-ion battery. Avoid dismantling, throwing into fire or short-circuiting the battery. Risk of explosion! Protect the built-in battery from excessive heat. The battery is firmly installed in the device and cannot and must not be replaced or removed. Improper removal of the battery may result in a risk of explosion. If the battery is defective, contact our service or a specialist workshop.

DANGER for Children

• Keep packaging material away from children. Risk of choking if swallowed.

DANGER from electricity

• Do not make any modifications to the item or to the connection cable. Only allow repairs to be carried out at a specialist workshop, since inexpertly repaired devices can present hazards to the user.
• Do not open the housing and do not insert any objects into the housing apertures.
• Do not place any containers filled with liquids on or near the device. The container may tip over and the leaking fluid may adversely affect the electrical safety.

WARNING of burns/fire

• Do not operate the device near naked flames (e.g. candles) and do not place any burning candles on or near the device.
• While charging, the device may become hot. When charging, place the device in a well-ventilated area and do not cover it.

Note on material damage

• The speaker is protected from moisture, but neither it nor the supplied cables should be immersed in water or other liquids. Protect the device from excessive moisture, direct sunlight and dirt.
• Do not connect the speaker to a speaker output of a separate power amplifier. This would damage the speaker.
• Condensation may occur inside the speaker if you move it from a very cold place to a very warm one. Wait a few hours before turning on the speaker.
• Keep magnetic stripe ID cards, credit cards, etc. away from the device. The magnets installed in the speaker could damage them.
• Never use harsh, scouring or abrasive cleaning agents or the like to clean the speaker. Doing so may scratch the surfaces.
• The speaker has feet at its bottom. Since surfaces are made of various materials and are treated with diverse care products, it cannot be completely ruled out that some of these substances contain constituents that attack and soften the feet of the device. Place a non-slip pad under the speaker, if necessary.

As soon as the red power indicator above the DC IN connection socket goes off, the battery is charged. The charging time during the first use is approx. 4-5 hours. When the battery is fully charged, the operating time is approx. 6-7 hours (depending on volume, ambient temperature etc.). Pay attention to the following:

• The battery must be recharged when the power indicator above the DC IN connection socket flashes red.
• You can already use the speaker while charging. However, this will extend the charging time.
• The battery should be charged at least once a month, even when not in use.
• The longest capacity is ensured at room temperature. The operating time is reduced at low temperatures.

Connecting to Bluetooth device (pairing)

If you are prompted for a password: enter "0000".
- Always follow the operating instructions of your mobile device.
- When pairing, do not plug the audio cable into the AUX socket.

• If you turn the speaker off and then on again, it will reconnect automatically to the Bluetooth device when the latter is nearby and the Bluetooth function is enabled. Once the Bluetooth device has been found, you will hear a short beep.

• If you have connected a device in parallel via the AUX socket, its playback will be prioritised and the Bluetooth connection will be interrupted automatically. If you remove the plug from the AUX socket again, the playback via Bluetooth will continue automatically shortly thereafter.
