Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Altec Lansing HydraJolt speaker, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the speaker. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
- Storage: When not in use, store the speaker in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
