Instmlling the battery
jùk CAUTION: After you remove the transparent fiim, be sure to remove any CD before turning
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.
J' Note: The battery does not provide power for Wave Radio/CD operation or for the dispiay
1. Do not remove the protective transparent film with tabs from the front of the system. It
prevents the CD door from opening accidentally when you turn the system over.
2. Carefully turn your system upside down.
3. Locate the battery compartment on the bottom (Figure 2).
4. Press the arrow on the cover to slide the compartment open.
5. Match the large (-) terminal on the battery to the small terminal on the clip (which lifts out
of the compartment for easier connection).
6. Snap the terminals together firmly.
7. Slide the cover closed.
Note: Now is a good time to record the sériai number found on the bottom of your system.
Write it on your warranty card and in the space provided on page 3.
8. Turn the system right side up.

Installing the battery
Connecting the power cord
1. Unwind the power cord completely to ensure the best FM reception. The FM antenna is
built into the power cord.
2. Plug the power cord into an electric outlet (Figure 3). The display panel lights and the time
display begins flashing.
3. Press and hold either Time ^ or ► button to stop the flashing and set the time.
Figure 3
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.
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 212°F (100°C),
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.

Applying the mounting strip for
the remote control
J' Note: Use only a Duracell, Eveready Maxell, or Toshiba CR2032 or DL2032 lithium battery
(available at electronics stores). If you have difficulty finding a replacement battery contact
Bose"” Product Support (see phone numbers on the Inside back cover).
3. Keeping the remote control face down, insert the new battery into the compartment with
the + symbol facing up.
4. Gently slide the battery compartment closed. It locks automatically.
5. Use the supplied mounting strip if you want to attach the remote to a surface in your
listening room. Peel off the protective backing to stick one piece to the back of the remote
and the other to the selected surface (Figure 5).
Connecting other components as an option
You can use your Wave® Radio/CD to improve the sound of a TV, VCR, computer, or tape player.
Or use it as extension speakers for a Bose® Lifestyle® music system. Connect one of these
components to the R (right) and L (left) AUX IN jacks.
To play your radio or CD player through external speakers, connect powered speakers with an
independent volume control to the system’s R (right) and L (left) LINE OUT jacks. Audio cables
for these connections are available at electronics stores.
Most audio cables are color coded. Match the red plug to the R (red) jack and the black or
white plug to the L (white) jack (Figure 6).
Note: Connecting external speakers does not shut off the Wave Radio/CD's speakers.
Figure 6
Connecting another component
Using other components
Select your TV, VCR, computer, or tape player, or other auxiliary source by pressing the AUX
button. Adjust the listening volume with the Wave Radio/CD volume buttons. Control all other
functions, including on and off, at the source, referring to its owner’s manual, if necessary. An
auxiliary component cannot be selected as the alarm sound source.
Control your auxiliary powered speakers from the Wave Radio/CD. Use the volume control on
the powered speakers to adjust the volume level.

lint-free, dry cloth. Wipe in straight movements from the center of the
disc to the outside. Do not use any chemical products; they can
damage the disc.
Do not write on, or attach labels to the surface of the disc.
To minimize exposure to dust and dirt, replace discs in their cases
after use. Store each disc in its case, out of direct sunlight, high
temperatures, and humidity.
