2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT, SAFE USE OF THE APPLIANCE

The following instructions must be read, understood and complied with before commissioning the appliance. They are especially useful for the protection of the safety, physical conditions and security of the operator and persons nearby, as well as for providing valuable information for preventing faults and malfunctions, for prolonging the service life, for reducing energy consumption and for environmental protection.

- The appliance is designed for household and non-intensive use. Any professional use compromises the safety requirement and is a condition for inapplicability of the warranty.

- The appliance is intended for indoor use and protected from inclement weather: use in an outdoor environment compromises the

safety requirement and constitutes a potential hazard for the safety of the operator and persons nearby.

- The appliance must not be used if it shows deformations, bulges, cracks in the casing, missing parts or other structural anomalies. If these conditions occur, switch off and contact qualified technical personnel.

- The appliance must not be used if it emits unusual noises, foul odours, smoke, vapours or any other type of exhalation not related to the cooking in progress. If these conditions occur, switch off and contact qualified technical personnel.

- The appliance must not be stored or used in excessively humid or dusty environments, in the presence of atmospheres saturated with gas, fumes, in excessive or low temperatures or under direct solar radiation.

- The appliance must not be used in explosive atmospheres, near explosive, combustible, detonating or flammable

material (e.g. petrol pumps, gas cylinders, etc.). Such use constitutes a serious risk to the safety of the operator and persons nearby and may cause fires or deflagrations.

- Make sure that each part of the appliance, especially the cord, is placed at a safe distance from heat sources (e.g. electric or gas cookers, heaters, stoves and fireplaces), both during use and when not in use.

- During use, the appliance must be constantly supervised: do not use it in the absence of operators or persons who are able to constantly check its correct operation.

- During use, the appliance must be placed at a minimum distance of 10 cm from surrounding objects on each side: this precaution prevents parts from overheating and improves performance.

- Use only the original accessories supplied. The use of non-original accessories could constitute a danger of damage to the

appliance as well as a potential health hazard.

- Do not use the appliance if it is particularly wet, even partially.

- Do not obstruct the grids or exhaust ducts: doing so creates potential fault situations as well as significantly worsening the performance of the appliance.

- Periodically check the cleanliness of the grids: refer to the following chapter on cleaning if dust or dirt accumulation is found.

- Do not cover the appliance with any material. Doing so will lead to the appliance overheating, with the possibility of breakdowns and danger to the operator or people nearby.

- Do not use the appliance if one or more of the parts listed in the following chapter are missing or damaged: contact your dealer for repair.

- Periodically check the conditions of the parts making up the appliance, in particular the charging cord: if any anomalies are

found, refrain from using the appliance and contact qualified technical personnel.

- Do not use abrasive sponges or aggressive detergents for cleaning operations: refer to the following chapter for complete requirements.

- Cleaning operations must be carried out taking care to disconnect the appliance from the battery charger: refer to the following chapter for the relevant requirements.

- The appliance must be connected to a charging source that meets all electrical safety requirements.

- Do not connect the appliance to extension cords, power strips, multi-socket strips, timers, controlled sockets or other devices that can start it up independently.

- If the appliance is not to be used for a prolonged period of time, it is advisable to disconnect the charging cord: this will extend the life of the appliance and help reduce energy consumption.

- Do not disconnect the charge by pulling on the cord: grasp the appliance firmly with one hand, grasp the cord plug with the other hand and disconnect with a quick, sharp movement.

- Before disconnecting the appliance, make sure that it is switched off and that there are no programs running, unless you need to disconnect it in an emergency situation due to abnormal behaviour as described in this chapter.

- Do not charge for too long: disconnect the cord after 4 hours of charging. Excessive charging can lead to premature battery damage and a greater chance of failure. Excessive charging also causes significant energy waste.

• Fully charge the battery before first use.
• Do not proceed with excessive use after the low battery warning. Once a warning has been given, charge as soon as possible.
• If the appliance is not used for a long time, charge the battery at least once a

month. This prolongs its life and ensures good performance when it is restarted.

- Use moderate volume, taking into consideration acoustic system health and the possibility of disturbing people around. Disturbance is generally considered a criminal activity in most legal systems.

- The appliance must be kept out of the reach of children under 8 years of age; in any case make sure that it is not used for play.

- If the appliance is used by children, even if they are over 8 years old, or by persons with reduced cognitive, sensory or motor skills, they must be instructed about the dangers of incorrect use of the appliance and it must be guaranteed that the information has been correctly and fully understood. Adequate supervision must however be ensured.

- Do not use the appliance in the vicinity of liquid accumulations or sources, such as tanks, tubs, showers, sinks, other sanitary fixtures, faucets, pipes, sprinklers, bottles, storage vessels, expansion vessels,

watercourses, flowerpots and similar. Do not place containers holding liquids on top of the appliance; make sure that the charging cord or electrical plug is never submerged.

- There is no reason to disassemble the appliance, not even after it has been decommissioned. It is composed of parts that could be swallowed by children or persons with reduced cognitive ability.

- Do not carry out any repairs yourself; in the event of a fault, have the appliance inspected by a qualified technician.

- None of the parts of the appliance must be modified under any circumstances: doing so normally constitutes a serious impairment of the safety requirement, a condition for immediate forfeiture of the warranty and does not lead to any increase in performance.

- Do not subject the charging cord to excessive bending or kinking: any internal damage to the cord which cannot be detected constitute a serious safety hazard.

• Place the appliance at an adequate distance from moving parts such as curtains, door and window sashes, hatches or similar in order to avoid accidental contact.
• Place the appliance on a flat, stable surface and ensure that the appliance cannot move independently due to gravity or external forces.
• Keep this manual for future reference.

	Volume increase	Double volume increase	Next track	Call volume increase
	Switches playback mode (wireless, USB)	No function	Switches the appliance on/off	No function

Wireless pairing:

Switch on the appliance, taking care to disconnect any pendrives in the USB socket (6): if the LED flashes, activate wireless on the mobile device, then search for the “IR-G30” appliance. When found, perform the connection operations on the mobile device. Once completed, the appliance emits a double ascending confirmation tone and the LED turns steady blue. Use the player on the connected mobile device to play music from the appliance.

Changing the connected wireless device:

As soon as the appliance has been switched on or the wireless mode has been selected, the appliance attempts to connect with the last connected device in order of time and, if available, connects to it; if you wish to connect a different mobile device, press the button (2) for a few moments: the device goes into wireless pairing mode, signalled by the emission of a ring. You can now connect

a different mobile device as explained in the previous point.

TWS function:

The TWS function allows the use of two IR-G30 devices as left and right speakers of a stereo audio configuration: the appliances are able to recognise each other and automatically assign the correct channel to be played. To use the TWS function, turn on two IR-G30s at a short distance from the mobile device, disconnect any wireless devices that may connect and then press on both buttons (1) and (3) for five seconds: the devices will beep and begin the mutual recognition procedure (a few seconds). Use the mobile device to connect to one of the two IR-G30 devices wirelessly as explained above, then use the connected mobile device player to play music from the appliance. To disconnect the connected speakers in TWS mode, briefly press the button (3). While playing in TWS mode,

switching off one of the two appliances will also switch off the second, just as both devices will switch to TWS mode if previously paired, if they are switched on within wireless range. During playback in wireless mode, one “master” appliance will show a flashing LED, while the LED of the other “slave” appliance will be off: it is possible to operate all buttons of the two speakers as described above, but the change of source can only be performed on the master device using the button (5).

Playback from USB

The appliance can play back music content saved in MP3 or WAV format on a USB pendrive with a maximum capacity of 32 GB formatted with the FAT32 file system in sequence, according to the alphabetical order of the file name: any sub-folders present will be played back in full and in sequence, according to their own

alphabetical order, in exactly the same way as individual music files.

To start playback from USB pendrive, insert it into the socket (6): the appliance emits a single sound, confirming that playback has started. You can switch back to wireless playback by pressing the button (5): the buttons will have the functions shown in the table above.

Telephone conversation:

The appliance acts as a speakerphone, amplifying the correspondent's communication when connected to a mobile phone via wireless connection. If a call is received, music playback stops and the appliance emits a ringing tone: the call can be answered by briefly pressing the button (2), as described in the table above. To make a call using the appliance as a speakerphone, normally make a call from the mobile device during the wireless connection. If you wish to suspend the speakerphone function,

reserving the conversation to the telephone only, press button (2) for a few moments during the communication: appliance sound will remain muted and the conversation can continue from the telephone.

During playback from USB pendrive, the appliance is not connected to any phone: to provide the speakerphone function, switch to wireless by pressing button (5), then ensure that the appliance connects wirelessly to the mobile device.

Shut-down:

The appliance automatically switches off in the following two cases:

1. The mobile device to which the device is paired is disconnected for more than ten minutes
2. Playback is paused for more than ten minutes in any mode.

To switch off the appliance voluntarily, briefly press the button (5).

When switching off, the appliance emits a descending musical scale for confirmation;

to restart the appliance after an automatic shut-down, briefly press the button (5).

Charging:

The appliance signals the need to charge the internal battery with a specific sound (four high-pitched beeps in sequence), recurring if applicable. To carry out this operation in the best possible way, keep in mind that:

• The appliance must be charged as soon as possible when the need is signalled: excessive use with a discharged battery can compromise subsequent recharges and reduce the efficiency of the battery.
• Charging must not be interrupted if possible.
• Charging in progress is indicated by the LED lighting up red: charging is complete when the LED switches off.
• Ideal charging is carried out with a high-powered charger, such as for tablets, i.e. with a current of at least 2 amps: charges with lower currents are generally inadvisable

because they could cause partial charging of the battery, as well as take a long time.

- Charging from the USB port of a PC is usually very slow.

To start charging, simply connect the supplied cord to the USB-C socket (7) via the small connector, then connect the large connector to a 5V voltage source with USB socket. Verify the start of charging by paying attention to the LED, which should turn red.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The appliance does not require maintenance, understood as the replacement of consumables or scheduled servicing; periodic removal of dust with a dry cloth suitable for the function is sufficient. Every cleaning operation must absolutely be carried out with the appliance switched off: the use of a damp cloth or any atomised detergent must be avoided given the presence of a non-separable battery and

given the possibility that certain voltage points may be reached by liquids. Even if stains or accumulations of dirt must be removed, proceed without wetting or soaking the appliance: in any case, avoid aggressive detergents, abrasive sponges, iron wool or other chemical cleaners.
