Using headphones

For private listening, plug the headphones into the headphone
connector on the connector 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.
Note: The system speakers are muted when you plug in your
headphones and unmuted when you disconnect the head-
phones. Because headphone volume levels may vary from
speaker volume levels, lower the volume of the system
before connecting or disconnecting headphones.
Note: If an alarm sounds while using headphones, it sounds
through the system speakers.

Using an external antenna

The system's 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 for contact
information.
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.

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.
