Making the power connections  
Checking the room code  
The RoomMate® speaker and the remote control used with  
it must have the same room code. Your RoomMate® speaker  
is shipped from the factory set up to operate using room  
code I . See the owner’s guide that came with the remote  
for instructions on changing the room code.  
If room code I is already used by another Bose® link product  
in your home, you will need to set the speaker to a different  
room code.  
1. Insert the plug (label facing up) of the DC power cord  
into the DC Power connector.  
2. Insert the small plug of the AC power cord into the  
power pack.  
3. Plug the other end of the AC power cord into a live  
AC (mains) outlet.  
To change the room code in the RoomMate speaker:  
1. Find the room code switches on the rear panel.

Checking the house code  
B

F
In order to operate your main room system using a second  
room remote, the remote and your main room system must  
have the same house code.  
To check the house code setting and learn how to change it,  
see the owners guide for your main system and the remote  
that you are planning to use in the other room.  
A LIFESTYLE® system radio frequency (RF) remote has a long  
range and the ability to penetrate walls. Therefore, the signals  
from a remote in one home can possibly reach and affect the  
operation of a LIFESTYLE® system in another. Changing the  
house code for the system and all the remotes used with it  
avoids possible conflict.

SETUP  
Listening to a connected audio device  
Connecting an audio device  
The device that is connected to AUX IN is identified by your  
LIFESTYLE system as a Local source.  
You can use your RoomMate® speaker to listen to an external  
audio device such as a TV, or a portable CD or MP3 player.  
Just plug the output cable from your device into the AUX IN  
connector on the rear panel of your speaker. The cable must  
be equipped with a male 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo plug.  
Using a PERSONAL® music center II:  
1. Turn on your connected device.  
2. Press the Source button.  
3. Select Local and press [OK].  
4. To operate your connected device, use the controls on the  
device or the remote control that came with it.  
Using a RC-35S2 remote control:  
Male 3.5 mm (1/8")  
stereo plug  
1. Turn on your connected device and start playing a track.  
2. Press the OTHER button to select the Local Source. Keep  
pressing the OTHER button until you hear your device.  
Using AUX IN with no Bose®  
link connection  
Portable  
When your RoomMate® speaker is disconnected from your  
Bose link network, the AUX IN input is automatically selected.  
This means that you can listen to a connected audio device  
without using your main room system. Use the volume control  
on your external device to set the volume level of the speaker.  
You can still use the mute switch on the front of the speaker  
to mute the audio at any time.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Troubleshooting  
Problem  
What to do  
No sound

• Increase the system volume.  
• Press Mute on the second room remote.

Intermittent response from  
the LIFESTYLE® system to  
commands from the second  
room remote  
• It could be time to change batteries in the remote control.  
• Move the zone 2 remote to see if the problem is caused by “dead spots” in the building.  
• You may need an antenna extender, which is described in the LIFESTYLE® installation guide.  
Your system turns on or off  
unexpectedly or other tuning  
changes occur when no but-  
tons on the zone 2 remote  
have been pressed  
• Check to see if someone in the main room is using the primary remote and is experiencing the same  
problem. If not, you may be experiencing a control conflict with another nearby LIFESTYLE® system.  
Changing the house code may solve the problem.  
• Refer to the owner’s guide that came with the remote for details on how to change the house code.  
Cannot hear my external  
source
