Setup Instructions
- Connect the Adapter: Locate the Bose link outlet on the back of your compatible Bose Wave system. Connect the provided cable from the Bose Wave Bluetooth Music Adapter to this outlet. The adapter draws power directly from the system.
- Prepare for Pairing: Turn on your Bose Wave system. Select the AUX input on your Bose system. The adapter should automatically enter pairing mode, indicated by a blinking blue light.
- Enable Bluetooth on Your Device: On your smartphone, tablet, or computer, go to the Bluetooth settings and ensure Bluetooth is enabled.
- Pair with the Adapter: In your device's Bluetooth settings, search for available devices. Select the Bose Wave Bluetooth Music Adapter from the list. Once connected, the indicator light on the adapter will turn solid blue.
Operating Instructions
- Play Audio: Once your device is paired and connected, simply start playing audio from your preferred application (e.g., music player, streaming service) on your device. The audio will stream wirelessly to your Bose Wave system.
- Adjust Volume: Control the volume using either your Bluetooth-enabled device or the volume controls on your Bose Wave system. For optimal sound, it is often recommended to set your device's volume to a high level and control the overall volume primarily through the Bose system.
- Switching Devices: The adapter can store up to 6 Bluetooth devices in its memory for instant recognition. To switch to a different paired device, ensure the current device is disconnected or has Bluetooth turned off. Then, select the Bose Wave Bluetooth Music Adapter from the Bluetooth settings on the desired device. If you need to pair a new device or clear the memory, some Bose systems may allow this by holding specific buttons on the remote (e.g., '5' or '6' for several seconds) while in AUX mode. Refer to your specific Bose system's manual for detailed remote functions.
