Maintenance
Cleaning
The Escape P6 Air is designed for easy cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish. Ensure the speaker is dry before connecting it to power.
Weather Resistance (IPX4)
The speaker is IPX4 weather-resistant, meaning it is protected against splashing water from any direction. While it can withstand rain and splashes, it is not designed to be submerged in water. Always ensure the charging port cover is securely closed when used outdoors.
Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing the speaker for an extended period, charge it to approximately 50% and store it in a cool, dry place.
