English b December 20, 2001 AM262842_00_V.pdf Important Safety Instructions Antenna grounding Example of antenna grounding as per National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Note to CATV system installer This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC (of USA) that provides guidelines for proper grounding. In particu- lar, it specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is practical. 18. Use proper power sources – Plug the product into a proper power source, as described in the operating instructions or as marked on the product. 19. Avoid power lines – Use extreme care when installing an outside antenna system to keep from touching power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal. Do not install external antennas near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, nor where an antenna can fall into such circuits or power lines. 20. Ground all outdoor antennas – If an external antenna or cable system is connected to this product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded. This will provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA No. 70 provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the ground electrode. Refer to the antenna grounding illustration on this page.

4 December 20, 2001 AM262842_00_V.pdf Before you begin Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Lifestyle® powered speaker system. These speakers are designed specifically for use with any Lifestyle® system to deliver high-fidelity, room-filling sound to additional rooms in your home. Unpacking the carton Carefully unpack your speakers. Save all packing materials for possible future use. The original packing materials provide the safest way to transport your speaker system. If any part of the product appears damaged, do not attempt to use the system. Notify Bose or your authorized Bose dealer immediately. Check to be sure your Lifestyle ® powered speaker system contains the parts identified in Figure 1. Setting Up WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the plastic bags out of the reach of children. Figure 1 What comes with your Lifestyle® powered speaker system: • Owner’s guide • Quick set-up guide • Powered speaker (left) • Accessory speaker (right) • 6-foot (attached) audio input cable • 50-foot extension cable • 3-foot VAR adapter cable •3-foot FIX adapter cable for Lifestyle ® DVD systems • Speaker wire • Adapter plug (in dual voltage speaker systems) 1 1 5 54 4 3 3 2 2 A c o u s t i m a s s 5 & 2 0 P o w e r e d S p e a k e r S y s t e m s® ? ?bose.com CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your speakers. Vibration can cause the speakers to move, particularly on smooth surfaces like marble, glass, or highly polished wood. For additional stability, you can add rubber feet to your speakers. You may obtain rubber feet (PN 178321-04) free of charge from Bose. Contact Bose customer service for more information. Selecting the locations for your Lifestyle® powered speaker system Follow these guidelines to select locations for your Lifestyle® speakers: Place the left and right speakers in their respective locations in your room. You can put these compact speakers in just about any room and location, such as a bookcase, desk, or in your kitchen. Be sure to place them close to an AC power (mains) outlet. To avoid interference with your TV picture, allow at least 9 inches (23 cm) of clearance between the speakers and the TV screen. Optional Bose ceiling and wall-mount brackets offer even greater placement flexibility. See page 15 for details. Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the front edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the sound. This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books.

AM262842_00_V.pdf December 20, 2001 5 Connecting the Lifestyle® powered speakers to each other Follow the steps below to connect your Lifestyle® powered speakers to each other: 1. Connect the speaker wire •The wire marked with the red collar is positive (+) and the ribbed wire is negative (–). These wires correspond respectively to the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals on the back of the speakers. •As illustrated in Figure 3, connect the positive and negative conductors at one end of the speaker wire to the corresponding positive and negative terminals on the LEFT speaker. Connect the other end of the wire to the RIGHT speaker. To do so, simply push down the tab at the bottom of each terminal, insert the bare end of the conductor into the hole, and release the tab to secure the wire in place. 2. Check your connections •Make sure the wires are connected positive to positive (+ to +) and negative to negative (– to –). Incorrect wiring will affect stereo imaging. Also, check to make sure that no strands of wire from any terminal are brushing against any other terminal. Such “bridged” wires create short circuits that may damage your Lifestyle ® powered speaker system. Figure 3 Lifestyle® powered speakers connected to each other Before making connections, unplug your system CAUTION: It is important that you unplug your Lifestyle® system or other music source before making any connections. Selecting the correct voltage If you purchased a dual-voltage product, please be sure that your speakers are set to the correct voltage for your geographical area. Use the adapter plug provided when appropriate. CAUTION: Make sure the voltage selector switch is set correctly on dual-voltage systems.

Connecting the speakers to another music source
If you will be connecting your Lifestyle® powered speaker system to a CD player, DVD player,
cassette deck, or other music source, follow these instructions:
1. Unplug the music source from the AC power (mains) outlet.
2. Insert the red and black plugs from the left speaker’s input cable into the left and right
audio outputs of the music source (Figure 4).
3. If you wish to locate the speakers farther away from the music source, use the supplied
50-foot extension cable as follows:
a. Insert the red and black plugs from the powered (left) speaker’s input cable into the
corresponding red and black jacks on one end of the 50-foot extension cable.
b. Insert the red and black plugs on the other end of the extension cable into the RIGHT
and LEFT outputs of the source. Portable CD players often use a 3.5 mm stereo
headphone jack, instead of the RCA jacks found on larger components. If this is the
case, you can use an adapter, available from your Bose
® dealer.
4. Turn the volume control on the left speaker all the way down (counterclockwise). Plug the
music source and the Lifestyle
® powered speaker system into the AC power (mains)
outlet.
5. Set the volume control to the two-o’clock position and turn on your music.
