Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Skullcandy Kilo speaker, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the speaker with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For thorough cleaning after exposure to saltwater or dirt, rinse with fresh water and ensure it is completely dry before charging.
• Storage: Store the speaker in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Charging Port: Always ensure the USB-C charging port cover is securely closed when not charging, especially when near water, to maintain its waterproof rating.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Skullcandy Kilo speaker, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Sound: Check the volume levels on both the speaker and your connected device. Ensure the speaker is properly paired and charged.
