Please read this guide Please take the time to follow the instructions in this owners guide carefully. It will help you set up and operate your system properly and enjoy its advanced features. Please save this guide for future reference. All Bose products must be used in accordance with local, state, federal, and industry regulations.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle alerts the user to the presence of uninsulated, dangerous voltage within the system enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle, as marked on the system, is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions in this owners guide.

WARNING: Contains small parts which may be a choking hazard. Not suitable for children under age 3.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose the product to rain or moisture. Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing, and do not place objects filled with liquids, such

as vases, on or near the apparatus. As with any electronic products, use care not to spill liquids into any part of the system. Liquids can cause a failure and/or a fire hazard.

To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of the line cord plug to the wide slot of the AC (mains) receptacle. Insert fully.

Do not place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on or near the apparatus.

CAUTION: Make no modifications to the system or accessories. Unauthorized alterations may compromise safety,

regulatory compliance, and system performance. Long-term exposure to loud music may cause hearing damage. It is best to avoid extreme volume when

using headphones, especially for extended periods.

Notes: The product label is located on the bottom or the back of the product. Where the mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, such disconnect device shall

remain readily operable. The product must be used indoors. It is neither designed nor tested for use outdoors, in recreation vehicles, or

on boats. This product is intended to be used only with the power supply provided. The speaker wire and interconnect cables included with the system are not approved for in-wall installation.

Please check your local building codes for the correct type of wire and cable required for in-wall installation.

Please dispose of used batteries properly, following any local regulations. Do not incinerate.

Bose Corporation hereby declares that this product is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC and all other applicable EU directive requirements. The complete declaration of conformity can be found at: www.Bose.com/compliance.
