Maintenance and Care
Waterproof and Dustproof Features

Always ensure the USB-C charging port cover is securely closed before exposing the speaker to water or dust.
Cleaning
To clean your speaker, use a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, you can rinse it under tap water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the speaker's finish or waterproof seals. Ensure the speaker is completely dry before charging.
Storage
Store your speaker in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or direct sunlight, as this can affect battery life and overall performance.
Battery Care
To maximize battery life, avoid fully discharging the speaker frequently. Charge the speaker regularly, even if not in constant use. If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to about 50% before storage.
Troubleshooting
Speaker Not Turning On

No Sound or Low Volume
- Check the volume levels on both the speaker and your connected device.
- Ensure the speaker is properly paired and connected to your device.
- Try restarting both the speaker and your audio source device.
Bluetooth Pairing Issues
- Make sure the speaker is in pairing mode (blinking Bluetooth LED).
- Ensure your device's Bluetooth is enabled and within range (up to 131 feet or 40 meters).
- Forget the speaker from your device's Bluetooth list and try pairing again.
- If multiple devices are trying to connect, disconnect other devices and try pairing with the desired one.
Poor Sound Quality or Disconnections
- Move the speaker closer to your audio source device to reduce interference.
- Avoid placing the speaker near other wireless devices that might cause interference (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, microwaves).
