A Brief Introduction to Some Special Features Introduction
English Thank you for purchasing the Bose Wave radio , an elegant way to bring high quality sound into any room. Over fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation brings you the benefits of award-winning patented acoustic waveguide speaker technology. Using this technology, a tube efficiently transfers energy from a small speaker to the outside air over a wide range of low frequencies. And, long waveguides, folded into intricate patterns, fit into products small enough to be placed comfortably in your home. Your Wave radio features new dual tapered waveguide speaker technology, connecting two speakers to two 26" tapered waveguides which combine to produce unprecedented instrument timbre from a system this size.

Selecting a location for your radio
Please keep these guidelines in mind when selecting a location for your radio: Place the radio on a table or other at surface. Do not place it on a metal surface or table that could interfere with AM reception. Do not place it on a heat-sensitive surface. Like all electrical equipment, it generates some heat. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, put the product in a position and location that will not interfere with its proper ventilation. Do not use the radio in a damp location. It is important to prevent moisture from getting into the unit. Locate it within 2 feet (61 cm) of a wall for best bass performance. Place it across the room from where you will be listening to enjoy maximum performance of the Wave radio. Feel free to place and position it where you nd the sound most pleasing.

Installing the battery

WARNING: Keep the remote control battery away from children. It may cause a re or chemical burn if mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100C (212F), or incinerate. Dispose of used battery promptly. Replace only with a battery of the correct type and model number. The 9V battery maintains clock and alarm settings and operates the Wave radios alarm system for approximately 48 hours during a power loss, or while the radio is temporarily unplugged. Operating without this battery results in the loss of clock and alarm settings, and station presets in the event of a power loss, but does not harm the radio. Use a standard 9V battery (IEC 6F22 in Europe), available at most retail stores. Note: The battery does not provide power for Wave radio operation or for the display. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Figure 2
Carefully turn your radio upside down. Locate the battery compartment on the bottom (Figure 2). Press the arrow on the cover to slide the compartment open. Lift the battery clip out of the compartment and align it with the battery as shown. Snap the terminals together rmly. Place the battery in the compartment and slide the cover closed. Then turn the radio right side up.
Connecting the power cord
1. 2. Untie and straighten the bundled power cord completely to ensure the best FM reception. The FM antenna is built into the power cord. Plug the small end of the power cord into the power jack on the back of your radio (Figure 3). The connector is shaped to t in only one direction. Line up the at edge of the plug with the at edge on the side of the jack. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electric outlet. The display panel lights and the time display begins ashing. Press the Clock Set button once to stop the ashing. See Setting the time on page 17 to set the clock.

3. 4. Figure 3

Straighten power cord for best FM reception

Adjusting the antennas

With the FM antenna built into the power cord, adjusting the cord position affects FM radio reception slightly. With the AM antenna built into the radio, turning the radio more to one side or the other adjusts AM reception slightly.
Receiving cable radio signals as an option
To connect your radio to the FM signal available from some cable TV companies, contact your cable provider for assistance. The cable screws onto threads of the FM 75 EXTERNAL antenna connector on the back of the Wave radio (Figure 3). To make this connection easier, you may want to obtain a screw-on to push-on RF adapter (available at electronic stores). CAUTION: Make sure the installation includes a signal splitter. It is important that only the FM band, not the cable TV band, is transmitted to the radio. It is necessary to use a splitter that lters the signal to prevent any re-emissions of the TV spectrum through the radio.
Setting up the remote control
WARNING: Keep the remote control battery away from children. It may cause a re or chemical burn if mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100C (212F), or incinerate. Dispose of used battery promptly. Replace only with a battery of the correct type and model number. Your remote control may be one of two types. Each is identied by the way the battery compartment unlocks to install or replace the battery (Figure 4 or Figure 5). 1. 2. Place the remote control face down on a at surface. If your remote has a slot on the back (Figure 4), follow step A. Otherwise, follow step B and refer to Figure 5: A. Insert the tip of a ballpoint pen into the slot. Push to the side as shown and hold. Slide the battery compartment open with your nger. B. Using your nger, push the tab lock to the side as shown and hold. Slide the battery compartment open.
