Charging the Battery The Expedition Escape has an internal, rechargeable battery capable of 20 hours of continuous audio on a full charge. Even though the system may have some charge when first taken out of the box, we recommend fully charging your Expedition Escape before first using the system. To charge the battery for the first time: • Set the power switch to the “OFF” position. • Connect the Expedition Escape to an AC power outlet using the included power adapter.
Speaker Placement The Expedition Escape provides three different placement options for your specific situation. For maximum sound coverage the Expedition Escape can be used with a standard 13⁄8” speaker stand. The speaker should be raised above the heads of the listening audience. Take care when placing the speaker on a stand, to ensure that it is on a level, steady surface and will not tip over.
