Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean your Beats Pill, use a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or chemical solvents. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring the USB-C port cover is closed.

Water and Dust Resistance (IP67)

The Beats Pill is IP67-rated, meaning it is dust tight and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. While durable, it is not permanently water or dust resistant. The resistance may decrease as a result of normal wear. Always ensure the USB-C port cover is fully sealed when exposed to water or dust.

Battery Care

To maximize battery lifespan, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Store the speaker in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods. Charge the speaker periodically if stored for a long time to prevent deep discharge.
