Before you begin  
Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Wave radio.  
Fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation bring you the benets of award-winning pat-  
ented acoustic waveguide speaker technology. Using this technology, a tube efciently trans-  
fers energy from a small loudspeaker to the outside air over a whole range of bass notes.  
And, by folding long waveguides into intricate patterns, they t into products small enough to  
be placed comfortably in your home. There is a 37-inch (93.5-cm) long waveguide inside the  
Wave radios enclosure, enabling this tabletop radio to produce room-lling sound with full,  
deep bass.  
Your Wave radio also includes:  
Integrated system design for high acoustic quality requiring no complex adjustments  
A high performance stereo tuner with 6 AM and 6 FM station presets  
Two independent alarms, with battery backup power to save the settings for wakeup during

Setting Up Your Wave® Radio  
Installing the battery  
WARNING: Keep the remote control battery away from children. It may cause a fire or chem-  
ical burn if mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100˚C (212˚F), or inciner-  
ate. 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 sys-  
tem 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. Carefully turn your radio upside down.  
2. Locate the battery compartment on the bottom (Figure 2).  
3. Press the arrow on the cover to slide the compartment open.  
4. Lift the battery clip out of the compartment and align it with the battery as shown.  
5. Snap the terminals together rmly.  
6. Place the battery in the compartment and slide the cover closed. Then turn the radio right  
side up.

Setting Up Your Wave® Radio  
Connecting the power cord  
1. Untie and straighten the bundled power cord completely to ensure the best FM recep-  
tion. The FM antenna is built into the power cord.  
2. 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.  
3. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electric outlet. The display panel lights and  
the time display begins ashing.  
4. Press the Clock Set button once to stop the ashing. See Setting the timeon page 17  
to set the clock.

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 75EXTERNAL 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  
filters the signal to prevent any re-emissions of the TV spectrum through the radio.

You can use the remote control (Figure 8) to operate the most frequently used functions of the  
radio and alarms. 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 (6.1 m) in front of the radio, and 6 feet (1.8 m) 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 Your Wave® Radio  
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 9). 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 (Station).  
The control panel On/Off and VOLUME buttons have raised ridges to help you locate these  
frequently used buttons.

Maintaining Your Wave® Radio  
Taking care of your Wave radio  
The only necessary maintenance is periodic battery replacement and cleaning.  
Cleaning your radio  
Use only a dry cloth to clean the outside of the Wave radio. If necessary, you may use a soft-  
bristled attachment to gently vacuum the front of the radio.  
Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or  
abrasives. Do not allow liquids to spill into any openings on the radio.  
If liquids get into the product, turn the radio off. Call Bose® Customer Service as soon as pos-  
sible to arrange for service. (See phone numbers on inside back cover.)  
Replacing the batteries  
WARNING: Keep the remote control battery away from children. It may cause a fire or chem-  
ical burn if mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100˚C (212˚F), or inciner-  
ate. Dispose of used battery promptly. Replace only with a battery of the correct type and  
model number.  
To ensure correct operation of your Wave radios alarm system, replace the 9V battery every  
year and following an extended power loss. A dead battery may leak and cause damage. Do  
not unplug your Wave radio from the power outlet while replacing the battery. If you do  
unplug it, you will need to reset the clock, alarm settings, and station presets. For further  
information on replacing the 9V battery, see Installing the batteryon page 9.  
For information on replacing the remote control battery, see Setting up the remote control”  
on page 11.
