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 a USB charger. The silicone sleeve can be removed and cleaned separately. Gently clean it and the leads with a lint-free cloth, slightly damp with either:

• water,
• 70% isopropyl alcohol, or
• 75% ethyl alcohol

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.
• Do not rinse the speaker under running water.

Battery Care Instructions

Your speaker comes equipped with high-performance lithium-ion batteries with a life span that 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 letting the battery drain completely or charging it when it’s already full.  Try to keep the charge between 30% and 80%.
• Avoid charging the battery at low temperatures, below 10°C/50°F and using the speaker below 0°C/32°F. Avoid using or charging the speaker in hot and unventilated places, 45°C/113°F and above, such as in a parked car or by a window in direct sunlight.
• If the speaker is stored for a long time, it is recommended to charge the speaker to about half-charge and then do a factory reset. Store the speaker in a cool, dark, and dry place.
• Avoid strong mechanical shocks, such as dropping the speaker on hard surfaces, as it might harm the batteries. Download the Marshall Bluetooth app and select the battery preservation level that best suits you and your speaker.
