In the United States:
• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing, and do not place objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, on or near the apparatus. As with any elec-
tronic products, use care not to spill liquids into any part of the system. Liquids

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equip-
ment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio com-
munications. However, this is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television recep-
tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Sounds that you rely on as reminders or warnings may have an unfamiliar
character when using headphones. Be aware of how these sounds may vary in
character so you can recognize them as needed.
• DO NOT use mobile phone adapters to connect headphones to airplane seat
jacks as this could result in personal injury such as burns or property damage
due to overheating. Remove and disconnect immediately if you experience
warming sensation or loss of audio.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit than the one to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Bose Corporation could void the
user’s authority to operate this equipment.
In USA and Canada:
• Except in case of emergency, Bose recommends that you NOT use these
headphones as aviation communication headsets because:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada license exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
- No incoming audio will be heard with a discharged or improperly installed
battery. This could result in the potential of missed communications while
piloting an aircraft.
- Extremely loud ambient noise levels common to many propeller-driven
aircraft may impair your ability to receive incoming audio communications,
particularly during takeoff and climb out.
- The Bose® AE2w Bluetooth® headphones are not engineered for noise
conditions, altitude, temperature or other environmental conditions common
in non-commercial aircraft, resulting in possible interference to critical com-
munications.
