Operation Manual

Leaving he PAL plugged in, even when not in use, ensures the batteries will be charged when

you need them. If the PAL is not plugged in, the batteries will self-discharge as a safety

measure. There is no harm in continuously operating the PAL with the power supply.

Note: It may take up to 4 charge/discharge cycles before the batteries are operating at

full capacity when new or left unused for several weeks.

Replacing the battery pack:

When it comes time to replace the battery pack, lift the FM antenna up, remove the two

screws that hold the battery cover in place with a small Philips-head screwdriver. Lift the

battery cover off, disconnect the lead from the battery pack and replace the batteries,

making sure to correctly connect the leads. Replace the battery cover by inserting the

bottom lip ﬁrst, then screwing the cover back on. Replacement battery packs may be

purchased from your authorized dealer/distributor or Tivoli Audio.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of ﬁre or personal injury, use an exact replacement

battery pack, available through Tivoli Audio or its authorized dealers, and dispose

of the spent battery pack according to your state/country’s regulations.

Handling the PAL:

• The PAL is weather resistant, but it is not weather proof. It should not be immersed in

water or held under running water. It also should not be exposed to extreme temperatures.

• The PAL is designed to be portable, but it is not indestructible. Do not drop it or subject

it to strong impacts.

• Always grip the PAL using the side indentations.

• The PAL’s non-slip, weather resistant coating is durable, but it is not impervious to

scratches.

• The PAL’s speaker is magnetically shielded, permitting use near a computer monitor

or a television set.

• It is normal for the power supply to become warm during use.

• Exposing the PAL to extended periods of direct sunlight or heat could damage the

rubber coating.

Cleaning:

The PAL’s exterior rubber coating is designed to provide a non-slip grip and be water

resistant. However, some common chemicals may strip the coating. If something is spilled

on the cabinet, wash it off as soon as possible to prevent possible damage. Normal everyday

wear and tear, or damage resulting from cleaning or chemicals, is not covered under the

factory warranty. To clean the PAL, use water and a soft cloth and do not rub hard. Use a

mild soap only when necessary.

Unlike the PAL, the iPAL typically has a water-resistant painted cabinet instead of a rubberized

coating. However, it should be handled with the same care.

Headphones:

Avoid using headphones (not included) at high volume levels to prevent possible hearing

damage. Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle.
