To control volume when a non-Bose product is the sound source:

• There is no need for an expansion room remote control.

• Use the remote that came with the tuner/receiver in the room where it is connected to the 

transmitter. 

• Use the volume control on the system, radio, or powered speakers connected to the 

receiver in the other room.

To control non-Bose or older Bose

®

 products in the expansion room:

• Use a Bose

®

 link remote control or the PERSONAL

®

 music center II to select audio from the 

LIFESTYLE

®

 system in the main room.

• Use the product remote or console control for local volume adjustments.

Check the indicators and settings 

Before you use the audio link, you may want to check some of the indicators and settings 
that make your expansion products work together smoothly.

The Status LED

On the connection panel of both the transmitter and the receiver, the Status LED indicates 
how the two units are communicating, as shown in the table below.

On the receiver, a blinking or solid orange light indicates a communications problem. Reposi-
tioning the transmitter, receiver, or both, may resolve the problem and cause both LEDs to 
change to solid green. For further information, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 11.

The transmitter Channel button 

You can use the Channel button to narrow the selection of frequencies the transmitter uses.

The transmitter is factory-set to avoid WiFi Channel 11. This helps prevent performance 

problems, such as slow or intermittent data transmissions, on a wireless network. If you have 
a wireless network set up on another channel, you can set up your transmitter to avoid that 
channel, or you can move the WiFi network to Channel 11.
