+== Start Here ==
+If you're new to Bose Portable PA systems, these pages will help you get oriented quickly.
+{{Callout|type=note|text=Make sure the column sections are fully seated when assembling your system. The top section must seat firmly into the lower section, and the lower section must seat firmly into the power stand. After assembly, confirm that sound is coming from the column as well as the power stand or Sub. If the sound is muffled or missing highs, reseat the column sections.}}
