Safety Instructions  
For your safety  
1. Read, Follow, And Save All Instructions – Read and follow the complete safety and operating  
instructions in this owner’s guide before using the unit. Save this guide for future reference.  
2. Pay Attention To Warnings – Observe all warnings on the unit and in the guide.  
3. Do Not Let Objects Or Liquid Enter The Unit – Take care to prevent objects or liquids  
from entering this unit. Do not use near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in  
a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or anywhere else that water is present. Clean only  
as directed on page 18.  
4. Maintain Proper Ventilation – Place the unit so nothing interferes with its proper ventilation.  
Do not place on a bed, sofa, or similar surface that mayblocktheventilation openings. Do not put  
it in a bookcase or cabinet that may keep air from flowing through its ventilation openings.  
5. Avoid Excessive Heat – Do not place the unit near heat sources such as radiators, stoves,  
or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
6. Use Proper Power Sources – Plug the unit into a proper power supply, as described in the  
operating instructions or as marked on the unit. This unit has a polarized alternating current  
line plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, the plug fits into the power  
outlet only one way. If you have trouble inserting it, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,  
your outlet may be obsolete and needs to be replaced. Contact an electrician. Do not  
change the plug to defeat this safety feature.  
7. Protect The Power Cord – Route all power cords so that they are not likely to be walked on  
or pinched. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, at the point where the cord connects  
to the unit, and at outlets on the unit.  
8. Take Precautions When Unit Is Not In Use – If the unit will not be used for an extended  
period, unplug from the outlet and remove the batteries.  
9. Be Careful With Carts And Stands – Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand,  
tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a person or damage to  
the unit. For advice on use of a particular cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table, contact  
Bose® Corporation. Be careful when moving the unit and cart combination. Quick stops,  
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause it to overturn.  
10. Avoid Power Lines – Do not install external antennas near overhead power lines or other  
electric light or power circuits, nor where an antenna can fall into such circuits or power lines.  
Antenna  
Lead In Wire  
11. Ground All Outdoor Antennas – If an external antenna or cable system is connected to this  
unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded. This will provide some protection  
against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

(NEC Section 810-20)  
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 provides information with  
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in  
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna-  
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the ground  
electrode. Refer to the antenna grounding illustration.

12. Obtain Authorized Service When It Is Indicated – Do not attempt to service this unit  
yourself. All servicing should be provided by authorized service personnel when:  
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged, or  
guidelines for proper grounding. It  
specifies that the cable ground shall be  
connected to the grounding system of  
the building, as close to the point of  
cable entry as is practical.  
B. Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the unit, or  
C. The unit has been exposed to rain, or  
D. The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance, or  
E. The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

Setting Up  
Unpack the carton  
Carefully unpack the carton. Do not attempt to use the Wave® radio if any part appears  
damaged. Instead, repack the carton and notify Bose® or your authorized Bose dealer immedi-  
ately.  
It is best to place the radio across the room from where you will be listening. Place the radio on  
a table or other flat surface. Do not put it on a metal surface or table that could interfere with  
AM reception. If you will use the radio with your television or VCR, do not place it on top of the  
television. It may interfere with the picture quality.  
Locate the power cord, AA batteries, remote control, and lithium battery.

Install the batteries  
The Wave radio’s three AA batteries maintain the memory and backup alarm system for up to a  
week during a power failure, or while the radio is unplugged. Operating without batteries leaves  
the memory unprotected, but will not harm the radio. Use AA batteries (IEC-R6 in Europe),  
available at many retail stores.  
Note: The batteries will not power the radio or  
light the display.

Setting Up  
Note:  
The remote control  
Replace only with a Duracell,  
Eveready, Maxell, or Toshiba  
CR2032 or DL2032 lithium battery  
(available at most electronics  
stores). If you have difficulty finding  
a replacement battery, contact  
Bose® Customer Service (see  
phone numbers on the inside back  
cover).  
Install the battery  
Your Wave® radio remote control has a security lock to prevent children from reaching the small  
battery. Follow these steps to insert or remove the battery.  
1. Place the remote control upside down and face down (as shown in Figure 4a).  
2. Insert the tip of a pen into the small hole in the security lock (Figure 4a). If your pen does  
not have a long fine point, you can use a straightened paper clip instead.  
3. Tilt the pen to push the lock in the direction shown by the arrow in Figure 4b. Push the  
lock until the battery compartment clicks open.  
Note: If you have difficulty getting the lock to click open, use the pen to hold the lock to  
the side while pulling the battery carrier out. You can place a thin coin or other object in  
the battery carrier slot to help pull the battery carrier out.  
Figure 4  
Push the security lock toward the  
battery carrier slot, until the battery  
compartment lock clicks open.

How to operate  
Aim the remote control at your Wave radio. Use the remote keys 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).

Other Components  
Connecting other components  
Use your Wave® radio to improve the sound of a CD player, cassette player, or TV. You can also  
use your radio as extension speakers for the Bose® Lifestyle® music system. Connect one of these  
components to the right and left AUX IN jacks. Or add powered Bose speakers connected to the  
right and left VARIABLE OUT jacks. Audio cables for these connections are available at electron-  
ics stores, or by calling Bose.  
Most audio cables are color coded. Match the red plugs to the right (red) jack and the black or  
white plugs to the left (white) jack (see Figure 7).  
Connecting components or speakers to the VARIABLE OUT jacks will shut off the radio’s  
speakers.

Maintaining the Wave radio  
The only necessary maintenance is periodic battery replacement and cleaning.  
Replace the batteries  
To protect your Wave radio’s memory and backup alarm system, replace the batteries every  
year and when you have an extended power loss. Dead batteries may leak and cause damage.  
Do not unplug your Wave radio from the power outlet while replacing the batteries. If you do  
unplug it, you will need to reset the clock, alarm settings, and station presets. For further  
information on replacing batteries, see “Install the batteries” on page 5.  
For information on replacing the remote control battery, see “Install the battery” on page 7.  
How to clean  
Use only a cloth to clean the outside of the Wave 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 necessary, you may use a soft-bristled attachment to gently  
vacuum the front of the radio.  
For best radio reception…  
The Wave radio has an internal antenna. You may adjust the antenna by turning the radio  
slightly.  
You may adjust the FM antenna by moving the power cord. If you still have problems with FM  
reception, you may need an external antenna. Call Bose® Customer Service to request one.
