"NO SIGNAL – PRESS PLAY TO CONNECT" message displayed | Wave® music system

Which adapter is connected?

Wave Bluetooth Music Adapter

See troubleshooting for Bluetooth® connection issues

Since the system cannot find the wireless device, see Cannot connect a BluetoothÂ® device.

Wave SoundLink Adapter

Plug the SoundLink USB key in first before turning the system on.

If the system is turned on and set to the Computer source without the SoundLink USB key plugged in yet, it will show “NO SIGNAL – PRESS PLAY TO CONNECT” on the display. This means it has timed out before establishing a signal with the USB Key. This timeout only takes 20 seconds. The best order to turn on the system and prevent this from happening:

Plug in the SoundLink USB Key into a working USB outlet on the computer
Once the USB Key is on, turn on the system and press the "SoundLink" button to select the Computer source
Open the desired audio playback program on the computer

If this message is scrolling on the display and the USB Key is plugged in, pressing "PLAY" or "Track Forward" will initiate the system to try and establish a signal again.

Try manually pairing the SoundLink USB key to the SoundLink adapter

To ensure the SoundLink USB key is seeing the adapters unique id, try manually pairing the USB key to the adapter. For more information on how to manually pair the USB key to the adapter, see Re-linking the SoundLink USB key to your system
