Product Use and Care
06.
Nomad 3+ Bluetooth speaker is intended to be
used both indoors and outdoors. The speaker has
been tested to IP67 waterproofing and dustproofing
standards. IP67 standard allows Nomad 3+ to be
submerged in water up to 1 metre for 30 minutes
without any damage. However, Nomad 3+ is not
intended for constant underwater use.
Please ensure that the protective screw cap is
properly closed before use. The speaker will only meet
IP67 ratings if all rubber seals and cap are properly
locked and sealed. If Nomad 3+ is placed in water
without the protective screw cap securely closed,
water may enter Nomad 3+ and void its warranty.
Always make sure the protective screw cap is clean,
free of any debris and correctly fitted.
Included cables are not waterproof.
Important: The speaker will
only meet IP67 ratings if
all rubber seals and cap are
properly locked and sealed.

Product Use and Care
06.
If you notice a muffling of audio after submersion,
gently shake Nomad 3+ to clear excess water. If your
speaker is exposed to salt water clean it thoroughly
after use with fresh water. Do not apply excessive
force to any surfaces of Nomad 3+ when wet or in
a wet environment.
Avoid prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV)
sunlight or magnetic fields.
Check the rubber seal periodically for premature wear
and clean Nomad 3+ with a soft moist cloth and
ensure no objects such as dirt, hair or sand are on
the rubber seal ring. Do not use any oily solvent or
chemicals for cleaning.

Important Safety Info
07.
Do not attempt to charge Nomad 3+ when it is wet
or you suspect water has seeped into the device.
Thoroughly dry Nomad 3+ and make sure all
connections are dry before attempting to open the
protective screw cap or connect a USB cable or power
source. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock,
fire or electrical damage to the Nomad 3+ and may
void the warranty.
Do not use the Nomad 3+ when you are charging the
battery.
Do not use the Nomad 3+ near an open fire, heat
source or excessive heat.
Do not open to modify, repair or remove any original
component of Nomad 3+. A qualified technician
must carry out repair work. Do not remove the built-
in battery or the grill cover. Doing so could cause
damage to Nomad 3+ and allow water to enter.
Sound levels should be appropriate to your
environment and comply with all local regulations.
Ensure that you can hear and are aware of any
potential hazards around you when you are enjoying
your Nomad 3+.
