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.
