Extension Cord Warnings:
•
Keep all electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare, or frayed cords, which
can cause electrical shock when Survival Scout is connected to wall power.
•
If you must use an extension cord, use only grounded extension cords that are rated for
outdoor use and equipment with a third-wire ground.
•
Avoid using excessively long extension cords, which can cause voltage drops, causing the
cord to overheat.
•
When using long extension cords with Survival Scout, use a heavier cord with a larger wire
size to reduce the voltage drop (the longer or thinner the cord, the greater the voltage
drop).
2
Fully charge the battery before using the loudspeaker.
Charge the battery completely after each use.
For best product longevity, do not store at exceedingly hot (greater than 90
°F / 32 °C) or exceedingly cold (less than 32 °F / 0 °C) temperatures.
It is acceptable to leave your loudspeaker plugged in. This will not
overcharge the battery.
If you leave the battery level low and do not charge it for 6 months, the
battery may permanently lose capacity.
If the battery fails to charge, contact ION Audio at ionaudio.com.
Bring the unit to a recycling center or dispose of in accordance with local
ordinances.
