Location of Controls

1) Power / Volume Knob: To optimize your speaker’s sound set your audio device’s volume (e.g. iPod, cell phone, MP3 player, etc.) to

approximately 75% of the maximum level. Rotate the ECOXPRO’s volume knob to the right to increase volume. To turn the unit ‘off’, turn
the knob to the left until a ‘click’ is felt & the LED above the volume knob turns ‘off’.

2) Power LED: The LED above the volume knob illuminates ‘on’ when the batteries are in use, even if you do not hear sound from the

speaker or connected headset. To optimize the lifespan of the batteries turn the ECOXPRO off when not listening to music.

Listening to your Music

1) Plug the ECOXPRO audio cable into the headset jack of your audio
device / source (e.g. MP3 player, iPod, iPhone, Smartphone, etc.)

2) BEFORE connecting your Smartphone device, use the SELECTOR
to set between 2 categories (I or S) of device connectors:
“ I ” includes: iPhone & iPod, HTC, Motorola, BlackBerry, LG, Palm

NOTE: The slide switch is for selecting the ECOXPRO’s audio interface circuit to work best with either
of the two major classes of smartphones / audio devices. The iPhone position is for smartphones made
by Apple (iPhones and iPods), Blackberry, HTC, LG, Motorola and Palm. The Samsung position is
for those made by Samsung and Sony Ericsson, Nokia and other manufacturers.

Waterproof 3.5mm Headset Jack

3) Turn the volume on your audio source up to a normal listening level and choose ‘play’.
NOTE: for best sound turn the source volume up to approximately 75% of the maximum level. If the
volume on your audio source is too low, the volume level out of ECOXPRO speaker or headset may be
too low. If the volume level on your audio source is at 100%, the speaker audio may distort due to
excessive high volume level output.

4) Turn the volume on the ECOXPRO to the desired listening level over the speaker or connected
headset.

Care, Maintenance & Precautions

1. Although the product is waterproof, it is NOT designed for use under water. Do NOT intentionally submerge the unit underwater.

2. Close both safety latches properly before use, as shown in ‘figure 2a’ below. If the unit is placed in water without the latches properly
closed, water may enter into the battery compartment and void your warranty.

3. Dry the unit completely before opening. Do NOT open the unit when wet or in a wet environment.

4. To open the safety latch, press and hold the safety lock switch, and then pull the latch out as shown in ‘figure 2c” above.

5. Do NOT apply excessive force to any surfaces of the unit, especially when wet or in a wet environment.

6. Do NOT use or store the unit in places with high temperature (e.g. directly exposed to sunlight or in a closed car for a long period, etc.),
significant altitude / temperature change or strong magnetic fields.

7. Always check the rubber sealing ring to be sure it is placed properly. Ensure there are no objects such as dirt, sand, hair or audio wire.

8. Always clean the rubber sealing ring, the exterior and the interior of the unit with a soft cloth before use. Do NOT use any solvent or
chemicals for cleaning as this may cause the rubber seal ring to degrade, causing the unit to lose its waterproof properties.

9. If used in or around salt water rinse off with tap water and clean with a soft cloth after each use.

10. Do NOT mix new and old batteries, or rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.

11. Alkaline batteries are recommended for best operation.

12. Always remove the batteries if the unit is not in use for a long period of time. IMPORTANT: noise & audio distortion may occur when
batteries are old or ill matched. Replace batteries with alkaline batteries or fully charged rechargeable batteries.

13. Ensure the SELECTOR switch is properly set for best audio performance. IF distortion
occurs, switch between I & S settings to determine the best selection for your audio device.

14. A dirt/ dust filter is below the filter cover in ‘figure 14a’ below. This dirt filter is used
to protect the internal air equalization filter (there is no access to the internal air filter).
The internal air filter equalizes the air pressure inside and outside the box. The air filter
protects the speaker from damage in the event of high pressurized use such as
