6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE 7. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Nomad Alpha 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 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 fited. 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ling of audio afer submersion,
gently shake Nomad Alpha to clear excess water.
If your speaker is exposed to salwater clean it
thoroughly afer use with fresh water. Do not apply
excessive force to any suraces 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 sof damp cloth
and ensure no objects such as dir, hair, sand are on
the rubber seal ring. Do not use any oily solvents or
chemicals for cleaning.
