Escape™ P9 Quick-start guide
1 Electrical safety advisory
1.1 Important safety information
Make sure that you have read the complete safety information on the
www.escapespeakers.com website before using this product.
Read and keep these instructions.
Do not submerge the unit in water or other liquids. The product is
weather-resistant but not water-resistant. Place the speaker inside if
you are not using it for a long period of time.
Do not install near any heat sources. Do not place open flames, such as
lighted candles, on or near the product.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type
plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your power outlet, consult
an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly
at power outlets, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit the unit. Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.
Unplug this unit during lightning storms or when you do not use it for
long periods of time.
Polyester and plastic bags can be dangerous. To avoid danger of
suffocation, keep the unit's packaging away from babies and children.
Be careful when placing the Escape™ P9 outdoors and directly
exposed to sunlight. The aluminum handle absorbs and disperses heat.
Make sure to take the necessary precautions to prevent injuries and
dangerous situations.
Only use the built-in charger of the Escape™ P9 to charge the battery.
2
If the battery leaks and the electrolyte gets into your eyes, do not rub
them, instead, thoroughly rinse the eyes with clean running water for
at least 15 minutes, and immediately seek medical attention to avoid
eyes injury.
If the battery gives off an odor, generates heat, becomes discolored or
deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or
storage, immediately remove it from the device and dispose of it.
If the battery's useful life expires, wrap the fully discharged battery in
insulating tape and put the battery in the specialized recycle bin.
