Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet or on
the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the speaker to malfunction. If this happens,
leave the power on until normal operation is possible (about 1 hour).
Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before
operating the speaker.
