Important Safety Information
To protect battery lifespan, fully charge at least once every 3 months. Battery life will vary due to usage patterns and environmental conditions.
Do not expose the JBL Flip 6 to liquids without removing the cable connection. Do not expose JBL Flip 6 to water while charging. It may result in permanent damage to the speaker or power source.
Chemicals and salt in your pool or the ocean can damage the waterproof seals or harm the connector surface over time if not rinsed off after use. After a liquid spill or rinse, do not charge your speaker until it's completely dry and clean. Charging when wet might damage your speaker.
With USB-C charging protection, a reminder sound will alert you to unplug if the connector detects water, salt, or any other chemicals.
When using an external adapter, the output voltage/current of the external adapter should not exceed 5V/3A.
