Always keep the port cover closed around the water.
Do NOT allow your speaker to be exposed to any water or moisture while it is being charged or while it is plugged into a power outlet. Doing so can raise the risk of electric shock and also cause damage to your speaker.
If your speaker is exposed to salt water, wash it off with fresh water after use. Treat it like a nice ﬁshing reel.
