4.1 Water Resistance (IPX7)

The speaker is rated IPX7, meaning it can be immersed in water up to 1 meter (3 feet) for up to 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for use near pools, at the beach, or in rainy conditions.

4.2 Cleaning

• Wipe the speaker with a soft, damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or chemical solvents, as these may damage the surface or internal components.
• Ensure the speaker is completely dry before charging.

4.3 Storage

• Store the speaker in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to approximately 50% every few months to maintain battery health.
