Care and Maintenance
06.
Nomad Alpha Bluetooth speaker is intended to be
used both indoors and outdoors. The speaker has
been tested to IP67 waterproong and dustproong
standards. IP67 standard allows Nomad Alpha to be
submerged in water up to 1 metre for 30 minutes
without any damage. However, Nomad Alpha is not
intended for constant underwater use. Close the
side panel cap properly before use (see Locking side
panel cap section). If Nomad Alpha is placed in water
without the cap securely closed, water will enter
Nomad Alpha and void the warranty.
Always make sure the side panel cap is clean, free
of any debris and correctly tted. The speaker will
only meet IP67 ratings when the side panel cap is
properly locked and sealed. Included USB cables
are NOT waterproof.
If you notice a mufing of audio after submersion,
gently shake Nomad Alpha to clear excess water.
If your speaker is exposed to saltwater clean it
thoroughly after use with fresh water. Do not apply
excessive force to any surfaces of Nomad Alpha when
it is wet or in a wet environment.
Check the rubber seal periodically for premature
wear and clean Nomad Alpha with a soft moist cloth
and ensure no objects such as dirt, hair, sand are on
the rubber seal ring. Do not use any oily solvents or
chemicals for cleaning.

1. Do not attempt to charge Nomad Alpha when
it is wet, or you suspect water has seeped
into Nomad Alpha. Thoroughly dry Nomad
Alpha and make sure all connections are dry
before attempting to open the side panel cap
and connect to a USB cable or power source.
Failure to do so may result in electrical shock,
re or electrical damage to Nomad Alpha and
may void the warranty.
2. Do not use Nomad Alpha when you are charging
the battery.
3. Do not use Nomad Alpha near any open re,
heat source or excessive heat.
4. Do not open to modify, repair or remove any
original component of Nomad Alpha. A qualied
technician must carry out repair work. Do not
remove the built-in battery or the grill cover.
Doing so could cause damage to Nomad Alpha
and allow water to enter.
5. 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 Alpha.
