Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your JBL PartyBox 710.
Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the speaker's surfaces. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, alcohol, benzene, or thinners, as these can damage the finish.
Splashproof Design (IPX4): The PartyBox 710 is IPX4 splashproof, meaning it is resistant to splashing water from any direction. However, it is not waterproof. Do not submerge the speaker in water or expose it to heavy rain. Ensure all port covers are securely closed when near water.
Battery Care: To maximize battery life, fully charge the speaker before first use. If storing the speaker for an extended period, charge it to at least 50% every three months. Avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures.
Storage: Store the speaker in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Protect it from dust and excessive moisture.
