Need help?
Do you have a question about the HOME SPEAKER 500 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
There is a music note on the screen of my Bose home speaker 500. How do I get back the time that used to be displayed on the screen?
Use the Bose Music app to set the display clock. Open the app, go to the settings, and enable the clock display. Note that the speaker must be connected to Wi-Fi for the clock to update correctly; otherwise, it will show the last recorded time before shutdown.
