System Overview

The Wave/PC

™

system monitor

The Wave/PC application software includes a program called the Wave/PC Monitor which

was installed during the software installation process. This program runs in the background

whenever your computer is on and enables the computer-generated audio to play through

your Wave/PC unit. A status icon (Figure 13) for this program appears in the portion of the

Windows Task bar where the clock is located.

Normal operation

During normal operation, you should always see the Wave/PC monitor icon in the Windows

Task bar. This icon indicates that your computer and the Wave/PC unit are synchronized, and

as long as the Wave/PC monitor is running, your computer uses the Wave/PC unit for its

speakers. This means that sounds generated by your computer are heard through the Wave/

PC unit. You can adjust your computer’s volume at any time using the volume buttons on the

remote control or the Wave/PC unit control panel. Also, you can click the Wave/PC monitor

icon and use the up/down buttons in the pop-up volume control. The Wave/PC system also

acts as your computer speakers even when the Wave/PC application is not running.

If you right-click the Wave/PC monitor icon, you can either start the Wave/PC application, or

exit the Wave/PC monitor program.

Note: If you exit the Wave/PC monitor, the sounds played by your computer will no longer be

heard through your Wave/PC unit.

If you see the icon with a yellow question mark

If you see a yellow question mark appear over the Wave/PC monitor icon, this means the

Wave/PC monitor is running but it can’t synchronize with the Wave/PC unit. Some possible

causes for this problem are:

• The Wave/PC unit is not connected to your computer

• The Wave/PC unit is unplugged

• The serial port of your computer is disabled

• The serial port of your computer is being used by another program

Note: Make sure your Wave/PC unit is correctly connected to your computer and a

serial port is available. Click the Setup button and click the General tab. Then click

the Search for Wave/PC button.

If you see the icon with a red exclamation mark

A red exclamation mark over the Wave/PC monitor icon means there is a software problem

and the Wave/PC application cannot be launched. To try to correct this problem, restart your

computer. If the problem persists, contact Bose

Customer Service.

If the Wave/PC monitor icon is missing

If the Wave/PC monitor icon is not present in the Task bar, the Wave/PC monitor is not run-

ning, and therefore, the Wave/PC unit is not synchronized with your PC. The sounds played

by your computer will not be heard through your Wave/PC unit. To start the Wave/PC monitor

again, double-click the Wave/PC icon on the desktop to start the Wave/PC application. The

Wave/PC monitor icon should reappear in the Task bar.
