Maintaining Your Lifestyle

Stereo Amplifier

Cleaning the ampliﬁer

The ampliﬁer, which is designed only for indoor use, may become dusty over time. To clean the ampliﬁer, use

only a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from the outside of the enclosure. Do not use any solvents, chemicals,

or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives. Do not allow liquids to spill into any open-

ings. Do not use any sprays near the ampliﬁer.

Protecting outdoor wiring

Although some Bose

speakers are designed and tested to stand up to outdoor weather conditions, the

bare ends of the speaker wire can be affected by exposure to the elements. This is especially true of salt

water exposure.

You may use a silicone caulking material, such as RTV adhesive, to protect speaker wire connections. It is

commonly available at hardware stores. If you do use caulking, apply it only after the wires are connected

and the knobs tightened down. Check the caulking annually, and re-apply as needed.

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem operating your Lifestyle

system after installing the Lifestyle

stereo ampliﬁer, follow

the guidelines below. For additional help, see the troubleshooting information in your system owner’s guide.

If the problem still exists, contact your Bose dealer to arrange for service, or contact Bose Customer Ser-

vice. Refer to the address list enclosed in the product packaging for correct phone numbers.

Problem What to do

Neither speaker

plays

• Make sure the Lifestyle

music center and the ampliﬁer are plugged in and turned on.

• Make sure the plugs are inserted fully and the outlets are in working order.

• Be sure a music source is selected (AM, FM, CD, AUX, etc.). If CD or AUX is

selected, check to be sure there is a CD in the player or the source connected to

AUX is turned on.

• If using a Model 20 music center, make sure the audio input cable is inserted into

SPEAKER ZONE 2.

• If using a Model 5 music center for home theater (Lifestyle

12 or Lifestyle

8 sys-

tems), make sure the ampliﬁer audio input cable is plugged into the FIXED OUTPUTs

on the music center. (Then the speaker output cable to the Acoustimass

module

should be connected to the piggyback jacks on the audio input cable.)

• Disconnect any headphones.

• Make sure the remote control switch settings are correct.

Only one

speaker plays

• Check the wires connected to the speaker that does not play.

• Make sure the wires are in good condition and are ﬁrmly connected at both ends.

• See “Connecting speakers to your Lifestyle

stereo ampliﬁer” on page 14.
