Maintenance

General Care

The Beats Pill+ is constructed with a soft rubber material. To maintain its appearance and longevity, regularly wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the white model, be aware that it may attract dirt and smudges more visibly over time, requiring more frequent cleaning.

Battery Care

To maximize battery lifespan, avoid fully discharging the speaker frequently. Charge the device regularly, even if not in constant use. Store the speaker in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

  • Speaker not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the speaker to a power source and allow it to charge for a few minutes before attempting to power on again.
  • Cannot pair via Bluetooth: Make sure the speaker is in pairing mode (Beats logo blinking). Turn off and on your device's Bluetooth, then try re-pairing. Ensure the speaker is not already connected to another device.
  • No sound or low volume: Check the volume levels on both the speaker and your connected device. Ensure the speaker is properly paired and within Bluetooth range.
