Battery Life

Maintenance
Cleaning the Screen
- To clean the screen, use a soft, lint-free cloth.
- For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive screen cleaner can be used.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the screen.
Storage
- Store the Boogie Board in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Ensure the stylus is securely placed in its holder to prevent loss.
