Safety Information for the Internal Rechargeable
Lithium-Ion Battery
The internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery used in this
device is designed to provide power for an extended period.
However, like all lithium-ion batteries, it will eventually reach
the end of its service life and may no longer hold a charge.
If the battery does not recharge after several attempts, it
may have reached the end of its service life. Please contact
[email protected] for repair information.
If you choose not to have the battery replaced, please
dispose of the used battery or device in accordance with
local laws and regulations. You may also contact your
local electronics retailer or recycling centre for proper
disposal.
User Safety Precautions
●
Ensure the ambient temperature is between 5°C and
45°C (41°F–113°F) before charging the battery.
●
Do not attempt to disassemble the device or its plastic
casing, as internal materials may be hazardous and
could cause injury or damage to clothing.
●
Do not puncture, crush, modify, throw, or subject the
battery to excessive shock. Improper handling may
result in fire, explosion, or chemical burns.
●
Do not leave, charge, or use the battery in a vehicle
exposed to direct sunlight, fire, or other heat sources.
●
Do not immerse the battery in water or seawater, or
expose it to moisture.
●
Do not use or charge the battery if it becomes
abnormally hot, discolored, deformed, or shows any
other unusual signs during use, charging, or storage.
●
Do not leave a charging battery unattended, and keep
it out of the reach of children.
NOTE:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the responsible party for compliance may void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment and all associated
warranties.
WARNING:
– Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type that can
defeat a safeguard (for example, in the case of some
lithium battery types).
– Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or
mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can
result in an explosion.
– Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature
surrounding environment that can result in an explosion
or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
– A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure that
may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable
liquid or gas.
CAUTION:
Risk of fire or explosion if the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type.
Important Notes:
1.
It is recommended to purchase an
adapter from SANGEAN that matches the
power range indicated on the gift box.
2.
When using a non-SANGEAN adapter, the functionality
of the radio may be aected, such as the reception of
radio stations.
3.
When using an adapter that does not fall within the
power range indicated on the gift box, please pay
attention to the following:
(a)
A higher-power PD adapter may be used, but the
radio functionality, such as receiving radio stations,
may be impacted.
(b)
A lower-power adapter should not be used to avoid
unforeseen risks.
WARNING:
High sound pressure may cause hearing loss. To
prevent possible hearing damage, avoid listening
at high volume levels for extended periods.

07
GB
lists. However, once a device is connected, the radio
will no longer be available for pairing with another
device. To pair a different device, disconnect the
current device first and restart the pairing process.
●
If your Bluetooth device is taken out of range, the
connection between the device and the radio will be
