CLEANING THE SPEAKER
Clean your speaker regularly to keep it fresh and last longer. Unplug any leads before cleaning the speaker and make sure everything is completely dry before plugging in any USB power source. The silicone sleeve and strap can be removed and cleaned separately. Use a disinfectant wipe or a lint-free cloth, slightly damp with 70% isopropyl alcohol or 75% ethyl alcohol to gently clean silicon parts. Dry them with a towel before putting them back on the speaker. Carefully clean the speaker mesh and openings with a dry and soft brush, or a cotton swab.

Do not use any sharp or metal objects.
Do not use compressed air.
Do not use products containing bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
Do not submerge the speaker in any cleaning agents.

BATTERY CARE GUIDE
Your speaker comes equipped with a high-performance lithium-ion battery and the life span is affected by charging and usage. Follow the guidelines below to keep your battery in great condition for as long as possible.

Avoid using fast chargers if possible. Fast charging causes stress on the battery and will degrade it.
Avoid charging the battery when it is already full or letting it drain completely. Try keeping the charge between 30% and 80%.
If the speaker is stored for a long time, do so with a half-charged battery and in a cool, dark, and dry place.
Do not use or charge the speaker in hot and unventilated places, 45°C/113°F band above, such as in a parked car or by a window in direct sunlight.
Avoid charging the battery at low temperatures, below 10°C/50°F and using the speaker below 0°C/32°F.
Avoid strong mechanical shocks such as dropping the speaker on hard surfaces as it might damage the battery

MAIN SPEAKER
