Français Español English INTRODUCTION The Bose link AL8 Homewide Wireless Audio Link Congratulations on your choice of Bose to provide an audio expansion solution free from the need to run cumbersome wires between rooms. The audio link consists of a transmitter and receiver. They deliver audio signals from your LIFESTYLE® 18 or 28 Series II system or LIFESTYLE® 38 or 48 system in one area of your house to the system or speakers you have set up in another area.
English Español Français INTRODUCTION What distinguishes the two units The connection panel on each unit identifies it by name: TRANSMITTER or RECEIVER. Two Bose® link jacks and a Channel button further distinguish the transmitter. For compatibility, the two units have a matching Setup Code, set at the factory with both switches in the “up” position (Figure 2). A Status LED lights when each unit is plugged in and the two units are communicating.
Français Español English SETUP Making the connections You can connect one transmitter and up to 8 receivers for each LIFESTYLE® system. The transmitter and receiver each use one of the two supplied Bose® link A cables, which are 7 feet (2 meters) long. Each unit also connects to power using one of the two supplied power packs. Note: Instructions for use with a non-Bose tuner/receiver vary slightly from those below. For details, refer to “Instructions for non-Bose or older Bose products” on page 7.
English Español Français SETUP For the receiver 1. Connect one end of the second Bose® link A cable to the jack labeled Bose® link OUTPUT on the receiver. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Bose link Input jack on the expansion room system, amplifier, or powered speaker (Figure 5).

English Español Français SETUP The transmitter Channel button You can use the Channel button to narrow the selection of frequencies the transmitter uses. The transmitter is factory set to avoid WiFi channel 6. This helps prevent performance problems, such as slow or intermittent data transmissions, on a wireless network. If you have a wireless network set up on another channel, you can set up your transmitter to avoid that channel, or you can move the WiFi network to channel 6.
Français Español English REFERENCE Accessories Bose offers additional receivers as well as extension/expansion cables and adapter kits for use with the Bose® link AL8 Homewide Wireless Audio Link.
