Bose Companion 3 Series II Owner's Manual

Maintaining Your Lifestyle

Cleaning the ampliﬁer

Protecting outdoor wiring

Troubleshooting

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.

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.

If you have a problem operating your Lifestyle

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.
