What distinguishes the two units
The connection panel on each unit identifies it by name: TRANSMITTER or RECEIVER. Two
Bose
® link jacks and a Channel button further distinguish the transmitter.
For compatibility, the two units have a matching Setup Code, set at the factory with both
switches in the “down” position (Figure 2). A Status LED lights when each unit is plugged in
and the two units are communicating.

Note: For information on the meaning of the different Status LED lights, refer to
“Check the indicators and settings” on page 9.
Choosing a place for each unit
Place the transmitter in the same room with the LIFESTYLE ® system media center. Place the
receiver in the same room with your Bose ® link expansion product.
Note: Use of the audio link with products that are not Bose link-compatible requires an adapter
cable. For further information, refer to “Instructions for non-Bose or older Bose
® products” on
page 8.
Considerations for positioning:
• Place each unit upright with all feet flat on a level surface, such as a floor, table, or shelf.
• Do not tip either unit on its side.
• Place each unit within 2 meters
(7 feet) of the product to which it is connected (using the
supplied Bose link A cable).
• Keep the two units within 2
3 meters (75 feet) of each other.
• Be aware that the strongest signal direction is above and around, not below,

the transmitter.
