Troubleshooting

Problem

What to do

No sound

• For both the transmitter and the receiver, make sure:

– the audio source is plugged in, turned on, and working.
– both the transmitter and receiver are properly plugged into functioning AC power 

outlets. Refer to “Connecting to power” on page 7.

– the  Bose

®

 link A cable is securely connected at both ends. Refer to “Making the 

connections” on page 6.

– the small connector end of the power cord is inserted firmly into the AC Power jack 

on the connection panel and the power pack is plugged securely into a working AC 
outlet.

– the Setup code switches on the connection panel of the transmitter and the receiver 

are set identically. There are four options: 1 & 2 up; 1 & 2 down; 1 up & 2 down; 1 
down & 2 up.

– the Status LEDs are lit a solid green to indicate solid communication between the 

two parts. If not, refer to the next Problem in this table.

For the expansion room products, make sure:

– the system, amplifier, or powered speaker is plugged in and turned on. On an SA-2 

or SA-3 amplifier in that room, make sure the Status LED is lit to indicate the 

amplifier is working.

persists and the 

Status LED lights 
are not solid green

• Move the receiver and transmitter closer together.
• Move the receiver, the transmitter, or both so the transmission path between them 

does not intersect with large metal objects (like a refrigerator), impervious construction 
materials (like thick masonry), or other obstructions (like a pool of water). 

• Check to see if the Status LEDs turn green as a result of the above efforts. For details, 

refer to “Check the indicators and settings” on page 9.

Interference with 

a WiFi network, 

telephone, TV, 

or other electronic 
device

• For interference with a WiFi network, use the Channel button on the connection panel 

of the transmitter to alleviate the problem. For details, refer to “The transmitter Channel 
button” on page 9.

• For interference with a telephone, TV, or other electronic device, move the transmitter 

or receiver farther from the device.
