Keep your speaker clean

Clean foreign substances as soon as possible. Otherwise, it may cause the water-repellent fabric part to become discolored or deteriorate and lead to speaker malfunction. Follow this maintenance procedure to clean salt, sand, and other foreign substances from the water-repellent surface of your speaker:

1. Make sure that the rear cap ① on the back of the speaker is completely closed.

   

2. Wash your speaker in fresh water (tap water, etc.) to remove foreign substances.
   • The speaker is not resistant to water pressure. Don't perform this step using high water pressure, such as in a shower.

     

3. Wipe any remaining water off of the surface using a soft, dry cloth.

   

4. Put your speaker on a soft, dry cloth with the logo facing down to drain any water collected inside the speaker.
   • The sound quality may change if water enters the speaker section of the system. This isn't a malfunction.

     

5. Place your speaker in a well-ventilated location until it dries completely.
