Using headphones For private listening, plug the headphones into the headphone connector on the rear panel of the system. CAUTION: Long-term exposure to loud music may cause hearing damage. It is best to avoid extreme volume when using headphones, especially for extended periods. Notes: • Plugging in headphones automatically mutes the speakers. Because headphone volume levels may vary from speaker volume levels, be sure to lower the volume of the system before connecting or disconnecting headphones. • While using headphones, alarms will be heard through the system speakers. Controlling the headphones volume: Press and hold or to adjust the listening level of your headphones. Connecting Other Equipment Using an external antenna The system power cord is used as an antenna for FM radio. If, after adjusting the position of the power cord, you still experience poor reception, you may need to install an external antenna. An external dipole antenna can be ordered through Bose Customer Service. Refer to the quick start guide in the carton. 1. Insert the 3.5 mm plug of the FM antenna into the FM ANTENNA connector. 2. Extend the ends of the antenna as far from the unit and other external equipment as possible to establish optimum reception. FM antenna connector Note: Many FM radio stations transmit a vertically polarized signal as well as, or instead of, a horizontally polarized signal. If the horizontal antenna orientation does not provide good reception, try hanging the antenna in a vertical orientation. English - 13
