What distinguishes the two units
The connection panel on each unit identifies it by name: TRANSMITTER or RECEIVER. Two
Bose
®
link jacks and a Channel button further distinguish the transmitter.
For compatibility, the two units have a matching Setup Code, set at the factory with both
switches in the “up” position (Figure 2). A Status LED lights when each unit is plugged in and
the two units are communicating.

Note: For information on the meaning of the different Status LED lights, refer to
“Check the indicators and settings” on page 8.
Choosing a place for each unit
Place the transmitter in the same room with the LIFESTYLE
®
system media center. Place the
receiver in the same room with your Bose link expansion product.
Note:
Use of the audio link with products that are not Bose link compatible requires an adapter
cable. For further information, refer to “Instructions for non-Bose or older Bose products” on
page 7.
Considerations for positioning:
Place each unit upright with all feet flat on a level surface, such as a floor, table, or shelf.
Do not tip either unit on its side.
Place each unit within 7 feet (2 meters) of the product to which it is connected (using the
supplied Bose link A cable).
Keep the two units within 80 feet (24 meters) of each other.
SBe aware that the strongest signal direction is above and around, not below,
the transmitter.
