Bose® 738031-1310 Owner's Manual

For private listening, plug the headphones into the headphone  

connector on the connector panel of the system. 

CAUTION:  Long-term exposure to loud music may cause  

hearing damage. It is best to avoid extreme volume when using 

headphones, especially for extended periods.
Note:  The system speakers are muted when you plug in your 

headphones and unmuted when you disconnect the head-

phones. Because headphone volume levels may vary from 

speaker volume levels, lower the volume of the system 

before connecting or  disconnecting headphones.

Note:  If an alarm sounds while using headphones, it sounds 

through the system speakers.

Press and hold 

 or 

 to adjust the volume of your  

headphones.

The system’s power cord is used as an antenna for FM radio. If, 

after adjusting the position of the power cord, you still experience 

poor reception, you may need to install an external antenna. An 

external dipole antenna can be ordered through Bose Customer 

Service. Refer to the quick start guide in the  carton for contact 

information.
1.  Insert the 3.5 mm plug of the FM antenna into the  

FM ANTENNA connector.

2.  Extend the ends of the antenna as far from the unit and  

other external equipment as possible to establish optimum 

reception.

Note:  Many FM radio stations transmit a vertically polarized signal 

as well as, or instead of, a horizontally polarized signal. If 

the horizontal antenna orientation does not provide good 

reception, try hanging the antenna in a vertical orientation.
