   The ECOXGEAR Bluetooth speaker is intended to be used indoors or outdoors and in land or water environments. The speaker has been tested to IP67 waterproofing standards, which means the speaker can be submerged in up to 3 feet of water for 30 minutes without any damage. However, the speaker is NOT intended for constant underwater use. Always make sure the cap(s) / covers(s) are clean, free from sand or debris, and correctly fitted. The speaker will only meet IP67 ratings if all rubber seals, gasket(s), and cover(s) / cap(s) are in place. If you notice a muffling of audio after submersion, gently shake the unit to clear excess water. If your speaker is exposed to salt water, clean it thoroughly after use with fresh water.
   The USB cables, power adapters, and unit with an improperly fitted cap are NOT waterproof. To prevent fire or shock, do NOT attempt to charge this unit if it is wet or you suspect water has entered the unit. In this situation, please return the unit to Grace Digital for a free assessment. If we have found that the unit has carried water, we will repair or replace the unit free of charge.
   The EX Footwell speakers have been specifically designed to fit into the footwell area of the Yamaha WaveRunner EX Series.

Once, as recommended, the mounts have been installed by a licensed Yamaha dealer, slide the left and right speakers into their respective mounts. When each speaker slides in, the spring-loaded Pin Latch will be pushed out and spring back into place. Do not stop sliding each speaker until the Pin Latch returns to its locked position.

IMPORTANT: Mounting Safety Although the Pin Latch locks each speaker into place, the speakers are NOT secure under heavy riding conditions.
When riding in heavy conditions, ALWAYS install the supplied security bolt on each speaker.

To remove each EX Footwell speaker from their respective mount, follow these steps:

1. Unscrew the security bolt, if it is installed.
2. While pulling on the Pin Latch (away from the vehicle), pull the speaker out (towards the front of the vehicle).
