Maintaining Your Lifestyle® Stereo Amplifier

Cleaning the amplifier

CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning.

The amplifier, which is designed only for indoor use, may become dusty over time. To clean the amplifier, use only a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from the outside of the enclosure. You may use a brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner to clean the hard-to-reach areas. DO NOT use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives.

Protecting outdoor wiring

Although some Bose® speakers are designed and tested to stand up to outdoor weather con- ditions, the bare ends of the speaker wire can be affected by exposure to the elements. This is especially true of salt water exposure.

You may use a silicone caulking material, such as RTV adhesive, to protect speaker wire con- nections. It is commonly available at hardware stores. If you do use caulking, apply it only after the wires are connected and the knobs tightened down. Check the caulking annually, and re-apply as needed.

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem operating your Lifestyle® system after installing the Lifestyle® stereo amplifier, follow the guidelines below. For additional help, see the troubleshooting information in your system owner’s guide. If the problem still exists, contact your Bose dealer to arrange for service, or contact Bose Customer Service. Refer to the address list enclosed in the prod- uct packaging for correct phone numbers.
