 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Bluetooth® -
• 4.2, AD2P 1.3, AVRCP 1.6, HFP
• stores last 8 paired devices
NFC pairing - Top center
AUX Input - 3.5mm
Water resistant - IPX4 rating
Speakerphone - answer and make phone calls
Over air updates
Voice prompts
Charging via Micro USB

Speaker powers off after 30 minutes of inactivity (no sound coming from speaker) while operating on
battery power.

Disabling auto-off
1. Press and hold + and simultaneously.
The unit will respond with “Auto-off disabled.”
2. Repeat to re-enable the auto-off feature.

When the speaker is unplugged and unused for more than three days with a remaining charge of
less than 10 percent, it enters battery protection mode to preserve battery power. Connecting it to
power will wake the speaker.

A 1A, 5V USB power supply works best to fully charge the battery.

Parts that have special safety characteristics are identified by the symbol on schematics
or by special notes on the parts list. Use only replacement parts that have critical characteristics
recommended by the manufacturer.

CAUTION: The Bose® SoundLink® Bluetooth® speaker contains no user-serviceable parts. To prevent
warranty infractions, refer servicing to warranty service stations or factory service.

DEVICE HANDLING
This unit contains ESDS devices. We recommend the following precautions when repairing, replacing
or transporting ESDS devices:

• Perform work at an electrically grounded work station.

• Wear wrist straps that connect to the station or heel straps that connect to conductive floor mats.
• Avoid touching the leads or contacts of ESDS devices or PC boards even if properly grounded.
Handle boards by the edges only.
• Transport or store ESDS devices in ESD protective bags, bins, or totes. Do not insert unprotected
devices into materials such as plastic, polystyrene foam, clear plastic bags, bubble wrap or plastic
trays.

1.9 Ensure the buttons are aligned with the

cabinet. Use your fingers to check the buttons
are flush and the top of the boot is flush with
the cabinet - no bumps. Cabinet Side
1.10 Finish rolling the boot over the cabinet.
Check to ensure the boot is aligned straight
to the cabinet and it is not twisted. Ensure Figure 14. Light Pipe Orientation

1.10 Ensure the boot tabs are inserted into the
slots in the cabinet and the hooks are secrued
to the nubs in the cabinet. Pull the boot
downward if needed. This helps to ensure the
boot is properly aligned. Figure 17. Tabs aligned to
slots in cabinet
1.11 With the front of the unit facing you,
align the boot retainer with the cabinet. The
foot attachment point should be on your right. Hooks attached to

1.12 While gently squeezing the sides of the

boot near the bottom, press the boot retainer
into the cabinet until it snaps into place.
Note: A new boot retainer should be used.
The snaps might become weakened from the
removal process.

1.13 Apply X lbs of preasure for X seconds to

to the top of the cabinet to ensure the adhesive
has properly secured the boot.

2. Inspect Boot Alignment Figure 17. Boot Tab Alignment

2.1 Top of unit - ensure there are no bumps

and the LEDs shine through the holes in the
boot. Figure 16.

2.2 Sides of unit - ensure the boot is smooth to Foot attachment point
the cabinet and not twisted. The USB and AUX
jack should be centered in the boot holes.

2.3 Bottom of unit - ensure the gap between

the boot and foot is the same around the Figure 18. Foot Attachment Point

Manufacture (DOM) to estimate the battery age
or the DOM printed on the battery. The DOM
is the 8th,9th,10th,11th number in the serial
number in the from YDDD.
23
Example: 4175 is the 175th day of 2104 or
June 24th, 2014.
10.2 The battery should be less than 30
months old.
11. Factory Default Unit
Before returning the product to the customer,
the unit should be factory defaulted to remove
any settings that were changed during testing
and also to clear any test Bluetooth devices
from the pairing list. The unit should be placed

 TAP COMMANDS
sh 99 - Reman Ship Mode; places the unit a ba - Battery Command
special remanufacturing mode. Only used for ba <command>
units that will sit in storage for a period of time.
- returns “reman: charge” when battery level is where <command> is:
below a LOW_LIMIT, lighting 3 LEDs including 0 – voltage decimal value in mV
a RED battery LED, system will charge until a 1 – temperature decimal value in 0.1 deg
CHARGE_LIMIT is reached Kelvin
2 – charge current decimal value in mA
- returns “OK” when the battery level is 3 – charge state string “charging” or
between a LOW_LIMIT and a HIGH_LIMIT and “discharging”
immediately enters ship mode 4 – charge level decimal percentage (0 –
100%)
- returns “OK” when battery level is above 5 – cycle count decimal value
a HIGH_LIMIT, lighting 3 LEDs including a be - battery error.
GREEN battery LED, system will discharge until
the HIGH_LIMIT is reached sf - System Faults

- LOW_LIMIT is 3550 mV clear fault

- HIGH_LIMIT is 3750 mV >sf 0
- CHARGE_LIMIT is 3700 mV
sr - Soft Reset
Example:
>sh 99 Force a soft reset of system
reman: charge
> vo - Volume

sh - Ship Mode; places unit into ship mode Gets or sets Volume
to prevent the battery from discharging and vo <volume>
turning on if a button is pressed while the unit
is shipped. Connecting the unit to power will where <volume> has a range 0 to 99
resume normal operation.
vr - Software Version
>sh
ok Gets software version
>
la - Language List
sn - Serial Number
Returns list of voice prompt languages
sn <id>,<string>
lc - Sets/Gets Language setting
where <id> is: lc - returns language setting
0 – Battery serial number (17 chars) lc <lang> - sets language
1 – Main board serial number (23 chars)
2 – System serial number (17 chars) example: lc en-us, sets language to US
3 – USB serial number (23 chars - read only
where <string> is an alphanumeric string of ascii bt - Gets and Sets bluetooth behavior
characters of the appropriate length
where <command> and <value> are:
Output Format:
Command returns “OK”. status - query BT link status
Query returns “serial: string”. The returned string unpair - clear pairing list
is an alphanumeric string of ascii characters of discoverable - enter discoverable mode
the appropriate list - list paired devices
length. rssi - show current RSSI value
Example: name,[<name>] - get/set friendly name
>sn 0 device,[<mac>] - get/set device address
serial: 12345678901234567
