2.Plug the control pod cable into the Control Pod jack.

3.Plug one end of the power cord into the AC Input jack on the rear panel of the Acousti- mass® module. Plug the other end into an AC (mains) outlet.

4.Plug the appropriate end of the USB cable (supplied) into the To Computer jack on the Acoustimass module. Plug the other end into a USB jack on your computer.

IMPORTANT: For optimum performance, connect the USB cable directly to a USB jack on your computer rather than connecting through a USB hub.

Note: The Companion® 5 system does not have an AC power switch. The system turns on in Standby mode when you plug in the power cord. See “System modes” on page 13.

Note: Bose recommends using a safety agency-approved surge protector on all electronic equipment. Voltage variations and spikes can damage electronic components in any system. A quality suppressor can eliminate the vast majority of failures attributed to surges and may be purchased at electronics stores.
