Do not recharge, short, disassemble or heat the battery, or dispose of it in
a fire.
Do not leave the battery with other metallic materials.
Wrap the battery with tape and insulate when throwing away or saving it.
Do not poke the battery with tweezers or similar tools.

local regulations.
Speaker layout
Install the speakers on a flat and level surface to ensure the best sound quality.
The sound may be affected depending on the location in which you install
them. To improve the sound, adjust the location and orientation of the
speakers.
If you install the speakers near the TV, color distortion may occur. To prevent
this, turn off the TV’s main power or unplug it before installing the speakers.
Wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power again. If the
TV is still affected, move the speakers further away.
