5. Maintenance

5.1 Waterproofing Care

To maintain the IP67 waterproof rating, ensure all rubber covers (for charging port, AUX-IN) are securely closed before exposing the speaker to water or dust. Do not submerge the speaker if covers are not properly sealed.

5.2 Cleaning

Clean the speaker with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish or rubber seals.

When storing the speaker for extended periods, ensure it is fully charged and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
