PLEASE NOTE: If there are any damages to
the ClimaCase, please retain all items
including the box and packaging material.
Please photograph damage and email us at
[email protected]. We will
file a claim and get another case shipped
out ASAP at no cost to you.
Mounting should take ~ 10-15 minutes and
setting up for use ~ 5 minutes. Inside this
booklet, you will find a ClimaCase
Component ID page introducing you to key
components of this product.
All holes are pre-drilled to accept the
included screws. Each screw is capable of
holding several hundred pounds and we
include five mounting points for exceptional
security for the case and the instrument
inside.
A sturdy table that can support the
ClimaCase at the correct height is a common
approach and very effective for safe
installation.
In addition, an extra set of hands is very
helpful. If you don't feel like this job is
possible for you, please consider hiring a
professional to hang the ClimaCase.
Introduction:
Your ClimaCase | Rectangle will ship in one box
containing all items in the packing list.

Installation Instructions:
1. Open the box and remove the glass protection
foam first. Next, remove the side foam pieces to
make removal of the humidor easier. Make sure
the latches of the ClimaCase are snapped shut.
Stand the box up on end and grab onto the case
back just below the top foam end cap. Gently pull
forward and the top foam end cap should start to
come out of the box. Once the top end cap has
come completely out, grab it and toss aside. Next,
lift the ClimaCase out of the bottom end cap and
place glass side up on a padded surface.
2. Open the door and remove the box above the
String Swing. This box will include all components
in the Packing List.
3. While the door is open, familiarize yourself with
the five mounting holes - the center mounting hole
and the pair of holes on the top/bottom. Please
note: the holes at the top/bottom are spaced 16"
apart to allow for securing into studs. If those
cannot go into the studs, the top mounting hole
needs to be screwed into a stud.
4. Re-latch the door before moving and locate a
suitable mounting location.
5. Using the stud finder, lightly mark the center of a
stud at desired location(s) with pencil and drill a
1/8” hole.
6. Insert 2” screw through the mounting hole with
~1/2” sticking through the back of the ClimaCase.
Line up the screw with the pre-drilled hole. Begin
advancing the screw slowly while putting slight
hand pressure on the back of the ClimaCase until it
becomes flush with the wall. Snug the screw tight,
taking care not to over tighten or strip out the
screw head.
7. Place the small level inside the bottom of the
ClimaCase and adjust as needed until it hangs
level. Mark the remaining mounting holes with a
pencil.
8.) Next, remove the first screw and set the
ClimaCase aside.
9. For the two mounting holes at the
top/bottom, use a 1/8” to pre-drill for stud
mounting or a 5/16” drill bit for toggle
installation. If using toggles, make sure the bit
fully penetrates the drywall at each mark and
insert plastic toggle by pinching each of the
"wings" of the toggle toward the center opposite
of the circular end and putting the pinched wing
portion partially into the hole. Tap flush with a
rubber mallet.
10. Repeat the process for the remaining
mounting point, ensuring the correct drill bit is
used for each mounting point.
11. Now that the holes are properly drilled,
reposition the ClimaCase and mount to the wall.
Take care to not over tighten or strip out the
screw head or toggle hole.
12. Insert the included wood plugs into all open
holes and tap gently with rubber mallet.

ClimaCase Use:
1. Place the included Boveda 2-Way Humidity
packets into the packet holders. The holders
are designed to hold either one or two packets.
Nearly every ClimaCase | Rectangle gets the
Cedar 2-packet holders, with the exception
being the ukulele/mandolin/violin ClimaCases
which get the Brushed Aluminum 1-packet
holders. Place the packet holders in the lower
left and right corners or utilize the included
magnetic/velcro mounting accessories by
Boveda to mount along the left and right side
of the ClimaCase. Please take precaution if
using the packet holders on the left and right
side because if the adhesive may let loose and
increase the risk of impact to your guitar.
Acoustic Remedy is not liable for any
damages to your instrument if the packet
holders were to fall onto it by foregoing the
recommended storage location in the lower
left/right bottom.
2. Place the Caliber IV hygrometer where
desired using the provided magnets.
3. Place the LED light onto the pre-installed
magnet at the top of the ClimaCase. If the
upgraded LED light strip was installed, plug
the power adaptor into the white cord exiting
the ClimaCase on one end and plug into the
wall.
4. Place your guitar into the ClimaCase to
determine desired alignment and positioning.
The String Swing can be swiveled left to right,
moved to either of the two hanger positions,
and the yoke can be adjusted by squeezing
gently on each side to accommodate thinner
or pried apart for wider headstocks.

ClimaCase Use (continued):
5. To maximize the life span of the Boveda
packets, it is imperative to keep the door shut
and the latches engaged at all times except
when removing or inserting your instrument.
6. The Boveda 2-Way Humidity Control
Packets should give you many months of
reliable humidity control depending on several
factors, including interior home humidity
levels, the starting RH of your instrument
humidity, and the number of times you
exchange exterior air with interior air. If the
packets become stiff, this means they have
emitted all the moisture available and need to
be replaced. Simply remove the packets,
discard, and replace. Acoustic Remedy
recommends checking the packets every
week or so to determine if they require
replacement.
7. We offer a subscription program to deliver
replacement sets of the Boveda packets
directly to you every 3 months. The price for
this service is comparable if not better than
other suppliers and provides you with the
peace of mind knowing that you will not have
gaps in your humidity control regimen. Please

below the code to learn more.

ClimaCase Use (continued):
8. Attempt to keep the ClimaCase from being
directly above floor vents to minimize
temperature swings. Even if you opted for UV
Blocking/Safety glass, please attempt to keep
the ClimaCase out of direct sunlight to reduce
potential temperature variations.
Humidity Control and Monitoring:
The primary mechanism to monitor the
humidity and temperature levels inside your
ClimaCase is to utilize the included Caliber IV
hygrometer. Levels should consistently remain
between 45-50% RH and temperatures
between 60 - 80 degrees. For more
technological and accurate methods of
monitoring, we sell and highly recommend the
high quality Bluetooth and Wifi monitoring
devices. Please visit Humidity Control and
Monitoring Products or scan the QR code
below to purchase.

Locate the white cord terminating through the right back corner of the bottom of the humidor portion of
the ClimaStand. Upon preparing for shipment, the white cord will be taped to the bottom outside of the
humidor. This white cord is the end of the remote control sensor and has a circular barrel connector on
the end of it. Carefully remove the tape and free the cord.
Locate the black power adapter in the accessories box. Insert the male barrel connector into the female
barrel connector on the end of the remote control sensor wire.
Plug the power adapter into a 110V outlet and the light strip should power on.
Use the included remote to control the light level, turn the light on/off, and pair the remote/sensor again
(if necessary).
Although the remote and remote sensor should be pre-paired, you may need to pair again. To do so
simply unplug the power adapter, plug in and hold the 100% and 60% simultaneously for 5 seconds. The
re-pairing process should be complete.
To operate the keyed cam lock, use the provided key and turn counter clockwise to lock the case.
Reverse the process to unlock.
The lock operates by swinging an arm, or "cam", into a receiving plate on the backside of the door frame.
There should be very little resistance when locking/unlocking. If there is excessive resistance, please
contact us to determine reasons and solutions to this..
The glass is professionally installed and can be used immediately
We recommend using the Spotless Cleaner to clean the glass. It doubles as a wood cleaner as well
The storage compartment for a ClimaCase mounts to the underside of the humidor using matte black
bolts.
Line the compartment holes with the brass inserts and push the bolt through the hole, thread the bolt into
the insert and hand tighten each. Finish the installation with the included allen wrench.
If you elected to rest your instrument instead of hanging it from the String Swing, the components of the
Neck/Bout Rest Storage System function using high strength neodymium magnets
On the floor of the ClimaStand, there will be powder coated black bars that attract the magnets on the
underside of the bout rails. The rails are adjustable left to right to accommodate a variety of lower bout
sizes
The neck rest will have two locations at the top of the ClimaStand that allow for different length
instruments. The goal is to have the neck entering the neck wedge around the 3rd-5th fret.
Once the proper bout rail width and neck rest locations have been determined, place your instrument into
the ClimaStand and allow the back of the instrument to rest on the cork bumper pad.
Finish by placing the small black powder coated bar onto the magnets on the neck rest
