Precautions

On safety

• 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 unit, 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 unit.
  • place subject to high temperatures, such as under direct sunlight or lighting equipment, near a heat source, or in a sauna
  • Inside a vehicle with the windows closed (especially in summertime)
    • place subject to excessive dust
    • place subject to strong vibration
• Place this unit on a flat, level surface. When placed on a sloped surface, the unit may fall over or fall off the surface due to its own vibration, resulting in injuries, malfunctions, or performance degradation.
• Depending on the conditions where this unit is placed, it may fall over or fall off the surface. Do not leave any valuables near the unit.
• This unit is not anti-magnetic. Keep objects susceptible to magnetism (recorded tapes, watches, cash cards and credit cards with magnetic coding, etc.) away from the unit. When you carry around the unit, keep this in mind as well.

Others

• If you use this unit for a long time, the temperature of this unit may rise, but it is not a malfunction.
• Do not use or leave the unit in an extremely cold or hot environment (temperature outside the range of 5°C – 35°C). If the unit is used or left in outside the above range, the unit may automatically stop to protect internal circuitry.
• At high temperature, the charging may stop or the volume may reduce to protect the battery.
• Even if you do not intend to use the unit for a long time, charge the battery to its full capacity once every 6 months to maintain its performance.

Notes on water resistant feature
(Read before using the unit)

Water resistant performance of the unit
The unit, with the cap closed securely, has a water resistant specification of IPX4*¹ as specified in "Degree of protection against splashing water" of the IEC60529 "Ingress Protection Rating (IP Code)*²." However, the unit is not completely waterproof. Do not drop the unit into hot water in a bathtub or purposely use it in water.

Liquids that the water resistant performance specifications apply to

*¹ IPX4 (Degree of protection against splashing water): Protected against water splashing from any direction.

*² The supplied accessories and the connectors of this unit (AC IN/USB/AUDIO IN/MIC/GUITAR) are not water resistant. To reduce the risk of fires or electric shocks, do not expose the unit to water or droplets while using any connectors (AC IN/USB/AUDIO IN/MIC/GUITAR). Do not place a vase or any other liquid-filled container on the unit.

To avoid the deterioration of the water resistant performance

Check the following and use the unit correctly.

• This unit does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Do not put the unit in the water or directly under the water gushing out of the faucet to avoid a malfunction.
• Do not pour high-temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any other appliance on the unit directly. Also never use the unit in a place subject to high temperatures, such as in a sauna or near a heat source.
• Handle the cap with care. The cap plays a very important role in maintenance of the water resistant performance. When using the unit, make sure that the cap is closed completely. When closing the cap, be careful not to allow foreign objects inside. If the cap is not closed completely the water resistant performance may deteriorate and may cause a malfunction of the unit as a result of water entering the unit.
  

How to care for the unit when wet

Be sure to wipe off the moisture after using the unit. If the unit is left wet, it may be soiled by water stains, molds, or the like.

The sound quality may change when water enters the speaker section of the unit. This, however does not indicate a malfunction.

Wipe off the moisture on its surface, and put the unit on a dry soft cloth to drain the collected water inside the unit. Then, dry the unit in an airy place until no moisture remains.

Note

• Clean this unit with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as thinner, benzine, or alcohol.
• Especially in cold regions, be sure to wipe off the moisture after using the unit. Leaving moisture on its surface may cause the unit to freeze and malfunction.
