Product does not power on with battery power

If your product is not connected to a power outlet and not used for 24 days, it enters protection mode to preserve the battery life. New products are often in this mode since they typically stay in a box for more than 24 days.

It is recommended to use only the Bose power supply included with your product. Using a third party power supply is not recommended. If it is necessary to connect a third party power supply, however, be sure the specs on the power supply match the power requirement found in your product specs.

Be sure the battery is not depleted. For more information, see Checking the remaining battery charge.

When disconnecting the power cord, a tone should play from the left speaker; when reconnecting the cord, a tone should play from the right speaker. If a tone is not heard, service is needed. Follow the link below for more information on how to service your product. Depending on your product and region, you will be provided a contact number or the ability to setup service online.

If a tone is heard but your product won't power on, the issue might be with the connections or controls; if a tone is not heard, the product might not be receiving power or producing sound.
