Fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation bring you the benefits of patented acoustic waveguide speaker technology, which was named Invention of the Year by the Intellectual Property Owners association. Using this technology, a tube efficiently transfers energy from a small loudspeaker to the outside air over a whole range of bass notes. And there is a 34-inch long waveguide folded inside the Wave radio, enabling this tabletop radio to produce room-filling sound with full, rich bass.
Your Wave radio also includes: Integrated system design for acoustic quality without inconvenient adjustments A high performance stereo tuner offers up to 6 AM and 6 FM station presets Two independent alarms, with battery backup power to remember settings A credit card-size infrared remote control with mounting strip provided Inputs for an additional sound source, such as a CD or tape player Please take the time to follow this owners guide carefully. It helps you set up and operate your radio and enjoy all of its features and high-fidelity sound.

Unpacking the carton

Carefully unpack your system. Save all packing materials for possible future use. The original packing materials provide the safest way to transport your Wave radio. If any part of the product appears damaged, do not attempt to use it. Notify Bose Customer Service immediately (see phone numbers on the inside back cover). Check to be sure your Wave radio contains the parts identified in Figure 1.

Note: Find the serial number on the bottom of your radio. Write it on your warranty card and in the space provided on page 3.

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 flat surface. Do not use the radio in a damp location. It is important to prevent moisture from getting into the unit. Do not place it on a metal surface or table that could interfere with AM reception. Since all electrical equipment generates some heat, do not place it on a heat-sensitive surface. If you use the radio with your television or VCR, do not place it directly on top of the television. It may interfere with the picture quality. A location within two feet of a wall is recommended for best bass performance. You get the maximum sound from your radio if you are able to place the radio across the room from where you will be listening. Please adjust the location to get the sound you prefer.

Installing the battery

The Wave radios 9 volt battery maintains the memory and backup alarm system for up to three days during a power failure, or while the radio is unplugged. Operating without this battery leaves the memory unprotected, but will not harm the radio. Use a standard 9V battery (IEC 6F22 in Europe), available at most retail stores.
Note: The battery does not power the radio or light the display.
1. Carefully turn your radio upside down (avoid scratching the top). 2. Locate the battery compartment on the bottom (Figure 2). 3. Press the arrow on the cover to slide the compartment open. 4. Place the battery inside, matching the large () and small (+) terminals with the opposite size terminals on the clip inside the compartment. 5. Press the terminals together firmly. 6. Slide the cover back and turn the radio right side up.

Figure 2

Connecting the power cord
1. 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 fit in only one direction. Line up the flat edge of the plug with the flat edge on the side of the jack. 2. The FM antenna is built into the power cord. To improve FM reception, unwind the power cord completely. 3. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electric outlet. 4. The display panel lights and the time display begins flashing. 5. Press the CLOCK SET button once to stop the flashing.

Connecting to a cable radio signal
To connect your radio to the FM signal available from some cable TV companies, contact your cable provider for assistance. The connection is made to the FM 75 EXTERNAL antenna connector on the back of the radio.
CAUTION: Be certain that the installation includes a signal splitter so that only the FM band, not the cable TV band, is transmitted to the radio. It is necessary to use a splitter that filters 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 fire 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 (Figure 4A or 4B). Each is identified by the way the battery compartment unlocks to install or replace the battery. 1. Place the remote control face down on a flat surface. 2. If your remote has a slot on the back (Figure 4A), follow step A. Otherwise, follow step B and refer to Figure 4B: 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 finger. B. Using your finger, push the tab lock to the side as shown and hold. Slide the battery compartment open.

Operating Your Wave Radio
Operating the remote control
Aim the remote control at the display of your Wave radio. Use the remote buttons in the same way you use the radio control panel. The remote normally works up to 20 feet in front of the radio, and 6 feet to either side. Replace the remote control battery when it stops operating, or its range seems reduced (normally every year or two). Keep in mind that lighting and other room conditions, in addition to battery age, can affect the operating range of an infrared remote control.
Operating the radio control panel
Most of the functions of the clock and the radio are operated by similar buttons on the control panel or the remote control (Figure 7). You can access additional functions by pressing two control panel buttons simultaneously (such as both TUNING buttons to display the station), which requires a separate button on the remote (STA). The control panel ON/OFF and VOLUME buttons have raised ridges to help you locate these frequently used buttons.
