• Ensure the charging port cover is securely closed before exposing the speaker to water.
• Do not expose the speaker to saltwater or other chemicals, as this may damage the seals.
• After exposure to water, especially chlorinated or saltwater, rinse the speaker with fresh water and dry thoroughly before charging or using.

Cleaning and Storage

• Store the speaker in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
