For your safety

(

)

1. Read, Follow, And Save All Instructions – Read and follow the complete safety and ope rating

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 may block the ventilation 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.

Safety Instructions

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.

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. 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 antennadischarge 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 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.

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 immediately.

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.

1. Carefully turn your radio upside down (avoid

scratching its top).

2. Locate the battery compartment on the

bottom (see Figure 2).

3. Press the arrow on the cover to slide the

compartment open.

4. Place the batteries inside, matching the +

and – symbols with the symbols inside the compartment.

5. Slide the cover back and turn the radio right

Product Information

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.

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.
