Important Notes
Battery life varies by usage and volume level; maximum volume significantly reduces playtime. The speaker is designed to float but should not be intentionally submerged beyond IP67 limits. Always ensure the charging port is dry before connecting the USB-C cable. The Bose Music app is required for advanced features like EQ customization and firmware updates. Stereo and Party Modes require a second compatible Bose speaker. Included accessories and packaging details are not specified in the source material.
