Unpacking & Introduction
This is typically the most fun part of purchasing any new piece of
equipment, but you probably have already done it and are now retro-
actively looking at the user manual. Whether you are one of the few
reading this before unpacking your dancebox™, or one of those other
guys, either way: CONGRAULATIONS! You are now part of the 1% (the 1%
of elite equipment owners that is).

Please make sure everything looks good, works properly, and hasn’t been
ruined by the ever-so careful shipping companies. Your equipment was
checked by our automatic robot fleet that undergoes periodic moments of
failure because it was made in China… just kidding, haha…ha! But
seriously, we QA checked everything before it left our facility, so it should
be an extremely rare occurrence that something isn’t working properly.

The dancebox™ is really an amazing product, at least, we think so. Here
is a list of super-features that we know make it super awesome!

•Three any-angle grip recessed handles for ease of moving and lifting.
•Durable ABS plastic on all six sides.
•Metal trim and corners.
•Quick access panel to inside for adjusting or swapping of equipment.
