Disconnect headphones from the system (connecting headphones mutes the speakers).

Adjust the internal
antenna by rotating the unit
slightly
one way and then the other.
•
Move the unit farther from a
TV,
refrigerator, halogen lamps, dimmer switches, or other
elec-
tronic equipment that generates
electrical
noise.
• If
neither suggestion works, you may be
in
an area
of
weak AM
signal
coverage.
•
Extend the power cord
as
much as possible.
The power cord acts as an
FM
antenna. See
"Connecting
to

• Try
an
external
antenna.
Call
Bose® Customer Service
