The 9-volt battery maintains clock and alarm settings and operates the Wave® Radio/CD’s
backup alarm system for up to 24 hours, during a power loss or while the system is tempo
rarily unplugged. Operating without this battery leaves the memory unprotected, but will not
harm the product.
Use a standard 9V battery (IEC 6F22 in Europe), available at most retail stores. Use an
alkaline battery for longer backup time.

Connecting the power cord
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 system to receive the FM signal available from some cable TV companies,
contact your cable provider for assistance.
The cable screws onto threads of the FM 750 EXTERNAL antenna connector on the back of
the Wave Radio/CD. To make this connection easier, you may want to obtain a screw-on to
push-on RF adapter (available at electronics stores).
.A. 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. This requires a splitter that filters
the signal to prevent any re-emisslons of the TV spectrum through the radio.

chemical burn if mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 212°F (100°C),
or incinerate. Dispose of used battery promptly. Replace only with a battery of the correct
