Weather Resistance (IP67 Rating)
The Altec Lansing Xpedition is IP67 rated,
meaning it is dust resistant and capable of
being submerged for up to 30 minutes at a
depth of 1 meter. However, that doesn’t mean
your new speaker is indestructible. Other
factors – like the corrosiveness of the liquid
due to it containing salt or chlorine – can aect
the overall integrity of the enclosure. If your
Xpedition is exposed to any substance other
than clean water, it’s a good idea to clean the
unit with a clean, soft cloth. Give the unit time
to dry completely before connecting it back to
mains power.
La bocina tiene una clasicación IP67, lo que
signica que es resistente al polvo y puede sumergirse
durante 30 minutos a una profundidad de 1
metro. Sin embargo, eso no signica que su nueva
bocina sea indestructible. Otros factores, como la
corrosividad del líquido debido a que contienen sal
o cloro, pueden afectar la integridad general del
recinto. Si su Xpedition está expuesta a cualquier
sustancia que no sea agua limpia, es una buena idea
limpiar la unidad con un paño limpio y suave. Dele
tiempo a la unidad para que se seque completamente
antes de volver a conectarla a la red eléctrica.
Note: The unit is only protected when the
rear plastic port cover is properly in place, if
not, the unit is not sealed from damage and
care should be taken to protect it from any
exposure to liquids or dust.
La bocina solo está protegida cuando la tapa
del puerto de plástico trasero está colocada
correctamente, de lo contrario, la unidad no está
sellada contra daños y se debe tener cuidado de
protegerla de cualquier exposición a líquidos o polvo.
