Maintenance

Water Resistance (IPX6)

The OHAYO S11 speaker is IPX6 waterproof, meaning it is protected against high-pressure water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for use in environments where it might encounter splashes, such as by the pool, at the beach, or during light rain. Important: While water-resistant, the speaker is not designed to be submerged in water. Ensure the charging port cover is securely closed to maintain water resistance.
