3. WARRANTY INFORMATION
At SOUNDBOKS (collectively, SOUNDBOKS APS and SOUNDBOKS,
Inc.), we know that you have probably been waiting with excitement
to get your SOUNDBOKS speaker and turn it up to 11.
But, before you become the envy of all your friends, we’ve been
told by some lawyers that you should read this really interesting
text. Basically, this explains all the fun legal stuff about your brand-
spanking-New SOUNDBOKS speaker. We aren’t promising a thrilling
read, but it is pretty important and we’d appreciate you having a
quick look through it.
The remedies described above are your sole and exclusive reme-
dies and our entire liability for any breach of this limited warranty.
Our liability shall under no circumstances exceed the actual amount
paid by you for the defective product, nor shall we under any cir-
cumstances be liable for any consequential, incidental, special or
punitive damages or losses, whether direct or indirect. We limit the
duration and remedies of all implied warranties, including without
limitation the warranties of merchantability and fitness for a partic-
ular purpose to the duration of this express limited warranty.
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may

5. CONSUMER INFORMATION
Batteries contain substances that can be harmful to human health
and damage the environment if they are not handled properly.
Batteries that are not integrated in the speaker and labeled with a
pictogram must not be disposed with unsorted household waste.
They must be disposed separately.

equipment. Such equipment contains materials, components, and
substances that can be harmful to human health and the environ-
ment if the waste is not handled properly.
17
As the final user of such equipment, it is important that you dispose
of your used batteries and all electrical and electronic equipment at
an established recycling service. This way, you are helping to ensure
that the equipment is recycled in accordance with the law and thus
treating the environment with respect.
In all municipalities, you will find a recycling service that accepts all
electrical and electronic equipment as well as portable batteries, or
you will find that they can pick it up directly at your home. To learn
more please ask your local technical administration in your munici-
pality.

tial damages (including but not limited to financial loss, personal

8. COMPLIANCE
Hereby, SOUNDBOKS ApS declares that this SOUNDBOKS is in
compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant pro-
visions of the following EU Compliance Directive Information.
20
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the lim-
its for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
grantee of this device could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
RF exposure warning
This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with
provided instructions, and the antenna(s) used for this transmitter
must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm
from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in con-
junction with any other antenna or transmitter.
End-users and installers must provide antenna installation
21
instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF
exposure compliance.
22
Your SOUNDBOKS is designed to be rugged, portable, and loud.
However, in order to continue to enjoy your speaker and to protect
your equipment, you must read this manual completely and read
the warnings including the following:
23
- Avoid electrostatic charge or discharge. Never use synthetic
cloths or sponges to clean the rechargeable battery; instead only
use cloths moistened with water without any additives.
If used incorrectly, corrosive battery acid may leak out of the re-
chargeable battery. Avoid any contact with it. In the event of ac-
cidental contact, immediately rinse with plenty of water and seek
medical attention.
The power cord and AC adapter are for indoor use only.
Never open the device housing. Repairs may only be carried out by
an authorized specialist workshop. In the process, only parts that
correspond to the original device data may be used.
Only use the accessory products specified by the manufacturer.
If water or other debris ends up penetrating the housing, immedi-
ately pull the main plug and remove the rechargeable battery. Then
contact our customer service at [email protected] or sound-
boks.com/help.
If the device emits smoke, smells burnt, or produces unusual
sounds, immediately disconnect it from the mains or the battery
and do not operate it further.
Never modify the device. Unauthorized interventions may affect
safety and functionality.
An unstable base may cause the unit to tip and injure or even kill
a person; children are particularly at risk. You can prevent a large
number of accidents by taking the following precautions:
If the SOUNDBOKS is not securely mounted, do not use it in ve-
hicles, in unstable locations, on wobbly tripods or furniture, with
insufficient brackets, etc.
Place the SOUNDBOKS in such a way that it cannot be knocked
over inadvertently and make sure that the cables do not pose a trip
hazard.
When storing the SOUNDBOKS, also ensure that it stands safely
and that it cannot be knocked down or over.
24
Never allow children to operate electrical devices unsupervised.
This product contains a chemical known to the State of California
to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Gross misuse and incorrect care are the main reasons for damage
to high-performance rechargeable batteries.
- Avoid deep discharge of under 20% for optimal rechargeable bat-
tery power.
- Recharge your rechargeable battery frequently.
- Store your rechargeable battery in a cool, but frost-free area,
ideally at 15° C/59° F. Higher temperatures result in a higher rate of
self-discharge and shorten the intervals between charges.
- Do not expose the rechargeable battery to direct sunlight or other
sources of heat.
- A deep discharge damages the rechargeable battery cells. The
most frequent cause of deep discharge is prolonged storage or
failure to use a partially discharged rechargeable battery. Only store
the rechargeable battery once it is fully charged.
- If the SOUNDBOKS is subjected to warm temperatures after being
cold (e.g. after transport), condensation may occur inside of it. In
this case, wait at least 2 hours before you connect and activate the
SOUNDBOKS.
- Be sure to contact SOUNDBOKS if you have any concerns or if
you notice melting plastic or odors coming from your SOUND-
BOKS.
25
- Do not place open fire sources such as burning candles or similar
on the SOUNDBOKS.
- Do not place the SOUNDBOKS near heat sources (e.g. heaters,
ovens).
