the battery after each use. · Avoid completely draining the battery. · Do NOT
leave your fully-charged speaker plugged in when it is not
in use. Battery Storage: · Fully charge the EcoTrek prior to extended storage
(4-8 hours). · Do NOT leave your speaker plugged in while it is in storage. ·
Avoid storing in high temperatures and moist places. · For long-term storage,
fully recharge the battery every 3 months. · If you do not charge the battery
within six months, it may not charge. Battery Disposal: · Bring the battery to
a recycling center or dispose of in accordance with
local ordinances. · Contact Grace Digital at www.gracesupport.com for
assistance with

Battery Replacement
For a complete demonstration of replacing the battery, see our video on
www.ecoxgear.com.
1. IMPORTANT: Disconnect all power cables. Make sure that the EcoTrek is
disconnected from any electrical power outlets. If EcoTrek is on, press and
hold the power button to turn it off.
2. Remove the battery door by unscrewing the (8) screws. This will require a
Phillips screwdriver.
3. With the battery door removed, the battery will be visible. It is fit
snuggly into the unit and surrounded by foam strips.
4. To remove the battery, tilt the EcoTrek backward so that the open battery
cavity is facing the ground.
5. Lift the EcoTrek unit slightly and gently tap the unit on the ground on
the bottom-back edge of the unit and gravity should cause the battery to start
to slip out slowly. Once the battery has moved out some, use your hands to
gently pull the battery from the cavity.
18
6. Once the battery has been removed from the cavity, first slide the metal
connector on the end of the BLACK wire off of the BLACK, negative terminal,
then the metal connector on the end of the RED wire off of the RED, positive
terminal. This will completely disconnect the battery from the EcoTrek unit.
IMPORTANT: Note how the terminals on the battery are connected. The RED wire
to the RED, positive terminal. The BLACK wire to the BLACK, negative terminal.
The replacement battery MUST be connected the same way.
7. Attach the wires to the replacement battery the same way they were
connected to the original battery. First connect the RED wire to the RED,
positive terminal, then the BLACK wire to the BLACK, negative terminal. (Only
use an approved replacement battery that meets the specifications provided by
ECOXGEAR. For more specifics or further information, contact ECOXGEAR customer
support.) Unit will not work correctly and may be damaged if wires are not
correctly attached.

8. If you purchase your own battery, make sure to also apply adhesive foam
pads on the left and right side of the battery. (You may be able to peel off
the foam strips from the original battery. If not, you can also purchase
adhesive pads of similar material and thickness.) These pads ensure that the
replacement battery is securely fastened and will not move within the battery
cavity.
9. Slide the new battery, with the terminals at the top, into the cavity and
gently push until the battery is flush with the back of the EcoTrek.
10. Replace the battery door and re-insert the screws.
11. Check if the battery door is securely fastened to the speaker housing. A
loose battery door may compromise speaker waterproofness.
12. Power on the EcoTrek to ensure proper function. Be sure to fully charge
the new battery prior to use (4-8 hours).

Troubleshooting
The sound is distorted Try lowering the volume control of your connected
device or musical instrument. Also, try to reduce the overall volume of the
EcoTrek. Cannot Pair With Bluetooth Device Make sure that your device is
compatible with Bluetooth. Turn off your EcoTrek and Bluetooth device, then
power on and reconnect. Make sure that Bluetooth mode is selected on your
EcoTrek. There is a high-pitched whistling noise when using microphone This is
probably feedback. Point the microphone away from the speaker. If there is
poor AM/FM reception To adjust AM/FM reception, move entire product. Can NOT
play music from a flash drive The USB ports are only for charging USB devices.
Volume level is too low Increase the volume on the EcoTrek and / or increase
the volume on your Bluetooth device. Battery not properly charging Twenty
minutes after plugging into an AC power outlet, EcoTrek will check if the
battery is rechargeable. If not, the individual bars on the battery level
indicator on the LED screen will flash from top to bottom. (Normally, the
battery segments will flash from bottom to top.) Please do NOT attempt to fix
your EcoTrek unit. Please contact our Customer Support at

PRODUCT USE AND PROTECTION:
Read and follow all instructions. Use only as intended. 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) / cover(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 power cable and the 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.
SAFETY ADVISORY & WARNING:
Read and follow all instructions. Use only as intended. CAUTION: Do NOT open
to repair. A qualified technician must carry out repair work. ATTENTION: Do
NOT charge while the unit is wet. Towel dry the unit AND make sure all
connections are dry
BEFORE plugging in the charging connector. Failure to do so may result in
electrical damage to the unit and may void the warranty. WARNING: Cancer and
Reproductive Harm – www.P65Warnings.ca.gov WARNING: Danger of explosion if

You should always 1.) Use the ECOXGEAR speaker in accordance with any music or
noise rules and regulations. 2.) Properly seal the ECOXGEAR prior and after
each use when in humid or water environments to avoid water damage to the
internal components. Salt water / air is particularly corrosive. Always make
sure that the gaskets are sealed when in a salt water environment and that the
unit is properly rinsed off after use. 3.) Properly clean the ECOXGEAR and
ensure the gaskets have no sand, dirt, or water on them prior to storage. 4.)
Store your unit with all caps properly sealed to avoid long term internal
moisture damage inside your unit. 5.) Completely dry and clean your ECOXGEAR
