Problem What to do
Blinking red Status 
LED on either the 
SL2 transmitter or 
receiver
• Disconnect the unit from the AC power outlet.
• Remove any possible obstruction to ventilation and reposition the unit upright with 
clear space around the ventilation openings on each side. If the ventilation was 
obstructed, allow the unit a few minutes to cool before reconnecting it to the AC power 
outlet.
• If it continues to blink red, check the cable connection between the SL2 receiver and 
the surround speakers. Make sure the connections are secure and the cable wires are 
not touching each other, which can cause a short circuit. Refer to 
“Connecting the SL2 
receiver” on page 7. Reconnect the unit to the AC power outlet.
• If it continues to blink red, unplug the unit from the power outlet and contact Bose
®
Customer Service. Refer to the address list included in the SL2 carton.
No sound or 
intermittent
 sound
• Make sure the audio source is playing and the program selected includes surround 
sound audio.
• Check to be sure both the SL2 transmitter and receiver power packs are properly 
plugged into functioning AC power outlets. Refer to 
“Making the connections” on 
page 6.
• Make sure that cables are properly connected to the SL2 transmitter, the Acoustimass
®
module, the SL2 receiver, and the surround speakers. The connectors must be 
inserted securely in the jacks.
• Make sure the SL2 transmitter and receiver are no less than 6
1
/
2
 feet (2 meters) and no 
more than 30 feet (9.2 meters) apart.
• Locate the small opening labeled Reset on the bottom of both the SL2 transmitter and 
the SL2 receiver. Using a fine-pointed tool (like a straightened paper clip), press inside 
the opening on the transmitter. And, within 30 seconds, in the same way press inside 
the opening on the receiver. 
• Move the receiver, the transmitter, or both so the transmission path between them 
does not intersect with large metal objects in your room or other obstructions (like a 
fish tank full of water). 
Interference with a 
wireless (5.8GHz) 
phone 
• Increase the distance from each SL2 unit to the phone.
• Press the channel button on the phone (if one is provided) to choose a different 
channel
 for phone transmissions.
