Before you begin
Thank you for purchasing your Bose ® Free Space ® 51 speakers. These high-performance
outdoor speakers are engineered to provide sound quality far beyond that of most outdoor
speakers. The speakers are also designed for permanent outdoor installation, and therefore
can withstand nature’s elements – so you can be confident they will perform for years to
come (see “Environmental capabilities”, page 9).
Unpacking the carton
Carefully unpack your Free Space 51 speakers and save all packing materials for possible
future use. Check that your system contains all parts identified in Figure 1. Do not attempt to
use your speakers if any components are missing or appear damaged. Instead, notify Bose
Corporation or your authorized Bose dealer immediately.
Note: Now is a good time to record the serial numbers located on the bottom of each Free
Space 51 speaker. Write both numbers on your warranty card and in the space provided on
page 2 of this owner’s guide.
WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep plastic bags out of the reach of children.
