Product parts

There are two versions of the SoundLinkTM kit. Which version you chose for your specific Wave® system determines which steps you follow in making the connections.

Identify your kit as A. or B. and follow the instructions that apply.

A. Using a kit with basic contents only

If you have only the basic contents kit directly below:

Skip ahead to “Preparing your Wave

music system or Wave® radio II for wireless” on page 4.

B. Using a kit with both basic and upgrade contents

If you have all of the contents shown below:

1. Begin with “Upgrading your Wave

music

system, as needed” on page 3.

2. Proceed with “Preparing your Wave

music system or Wave® radio II for wireless” on page 4.

Upgrading your Wave® music system, as needed

If your kit includes an upgrade CD, it is important to use the CD before making any SoundLinkTM kit connections.

Follow this procedure:

1. Make sure your Wave

music system is plugged in and ready to use.

For detailed instructions, refer to the Bose® owner’s guide that came with the system.

2. Insert the update CD, label side up, into the disc drive on the system. The update process begins automatically and UPDATING appears on the Wave

system

display.

When the update is complete, the system ejects the disc. Your system is now compatible with the SoundLink

adapter.

Preparing your Wave® music system or Wave® radio II for wireless

The SoundLinkTM adapter connects directly to your Wave® system.

1. Plug the SoundLink

adapter cable (with the words Bose link facing up) into the Bose link

connector on the rear of the system.

2. Place the adapter in a convenient location. It does not need to be within view. If the adapter is to the left of the system (as you face it), be sure the two are at least

2 in. (5 cm) apart to eliminate any interference with AM reception.
