For your safety

Safety Instructions

1.Read, Follow And Save All Instructions – Read and follow the complete safety and operating instructions in this owner’s guide before using the unit. Save this guide for future reference.

2.Pay Attention To Warnings – Observe all warnings on the unit and in the guide.

3.Do Not Let Objects Or Liquid Enter The Unit – Take care to prevent objects or liquids from entering this unit. Do not use near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet base- ment, near a swimming pool, or anywhere else that water is present. Clean only as directed on page 13.

4.Maintain Proper Ventilation – Place the unit so nothing interferes with its proper ventilation. Do not place on a bed, sofa, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings. Do not put it in a bookcase or cabinet that may keep air from flowing through its ventilation openings.

5.Avoid Excessive Heat – Do not place the unit near heat sources such as radiators, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

6.Use Proper Power Sources – Plug the unit into a proper power supply, as described in the operating instructions or as marked on the unit. This unit has a polarized alternating current line plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, the plug fits into the power outlet only one way. If you have trouble inserting it, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, your outlet may be obsolete and needs to be replaced. Contact an electrician. Do not change the plug to defeat this safety feature.

7.Protect The Power Cord – Route all power cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, at the point where the cord connects to the unit, and at outlets on the unit.

8.Take Precautions When Unit Is Not In Use – If the unit will not be used for an extended period, unplug from the outlet and remove the batteries.

9.Be Careful With Carts And Stands – Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a person or damage to the unit. For advice on use of a particular cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table, contact Bose® Corporation.

10.Avoid Power Lines – Do not install external antennas near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, nor where an antenna can fall into such circuits or power lines.

11.Ground All Outdoor Antennas – If an external antenna or cable system is connected to this unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded. This will provide some protection against voltage

surges and built-up static charges.

12.Obtain Authorized Service When It Is Indicated – Do not attempt to service this unit yourself. All servicing should be provided by authorized service personnel when:

A.The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged, or

B.Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the unit, or

C.The unit has been exposed to rain, or

D.The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance, or

E.The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

If you must move the unit and cart combination, do so very carefully. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause it to overturn.

Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder calls the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC (of USA) that provides guidelines for proper grounding. It specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is practical.
