The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an
equilateral triangle alerts the user to the presence of
uninsulated dangerous voltage within the system enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electrical shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle, as
marked on the system, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance instructions in this owner’s guide.
WARNINGS:
• To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose the
product to rain or moisture.
• Keep new and used batteries away from children. Do not ingest
battery, chemical burn hazard. The remote control supplied with
this product contains a coin/button cell battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed it can cause severe internal burns
in just 2 hours and can lead to death. If the battery compartment
does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away
from children. If you think the battery may have been swallowed
or placed inside any part of the body seek immediate medical
attention. May explode or cause a fire or chemical burn if incorrectly replaced or mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble,
heat above 212°F (100°C), or incinerate. Replace only with an
agency approved (ex. UL) CR2032 or DL2032 3-volt lithium
battery. Dispose of used batteries promptly.
• Do not place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
on or near the apparatus.
• To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of the line cord
plug to the wide slot of the AC (mains) receptacle. Insert fully.
• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing, and do
not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on or near the
apparatus. As with any electronic products, use care not to spill
liquids into any part of the system. Liquids can cause a failure
and/or a fire hazard.

hazard. Not suitable for children under age 3.
CAUTIONS:
• Make no modifications to the system or accessories.
Unauthorized alterations may compromise safety, regulatory
compliance, and system performance.
• Long-term exposure to loud music may cause hearing damage.
It is best to avoid extreme volume when using headphones,
especially for extended periods.
• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure from the internal laser component. The
compact disc player should not be adjusted or repaired by
anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
Notes:
• The product label is located on the bottom of the product.
• The product must be used indoors. It is neither designed nor
tested for use outdoors, in recreational vehicles, or on boats.

Introduction
About your Wave® Radio IV
Your Wave® Radio IV provides an elegant way to bring high quality
sound into any room.
System Features
• Display provides access to system settings and information.
• AUX connector enables playback from an audio device.
• Headphone connector for private listening.
• AM/FM tuner delivers precise radio reception.
• Remote control for point-and-click control from up to
20 feet away.
e benefits of research
Over fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation brings you
the benefits of award-winning proprietary acoustic waveguide
speaker technology. Using this technology, a tube efficiently
transfers energy from a small speaker to the outside air over a
wide range of low frequencies. And, long waveguides, folded into
intricate patterns, fit into products small enough to be placed
comfortably in your home. Your Wave
tapered waveguide speaker technology, connecting two
speakers to two 26" tapered waveguides which combine to deliver
performance well beyond the size of the system.

Setting up the System
Placing the system
• To enjoy maximum audio performance:
— Place the system across the room from where you listen.
— Place the system within two feet of a wall, and avoid placing
directly in a corner.
• Place the system on a flat, stable surface.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not place the system on a metal surface. It could interfere
with AM reception.
• Do not place the system on a heat-sensitive surface. Like all
electrical equipment, it generates some heat.
• Do not use the system in a damp location or any other place
where moisture can get inside.
Connecting to power
1. Insert the small end of the power cord into the
AC POWER connector.
2. Plug the power cord into an AC (mains) power outlet.
Setting the clock
After plugging in the system, set the clock using the remote.
1. Press and hold either Time – or Time + for about one second.
Note: Press-and-hold operations require holding the button down
for about one second.
Initially, HOLD TO SET appears on the display and then
quickly changes to – CLOCK SET – as the button is
depressed.
2. Release the selected Time button.
3. Press Time – to adjust the displayed time backward or press
Time + to adjust the displayed time forward until it matches
the current time. You can also press and hold for rapid
adjustment.
4. Wait five seconds for the system to exit clock setup mode.
Notes:
• To change the clock from 12-hour (AM/PM) time to 24-hour time,
see “Changing a system setting” on page 13.
• If the system loses power due to a power outage or if you
unplug the system, all system settings are permanently
retained. However, the clock time is only temporarily stored in
backup memory for up to 48 hours.

set the sleep timer to 10-90 minutes (in 10-minute increments)
or OFF.
Note: If more than 10 seconds elapses between button
presses, the system automatically exits the sleep timer
setup mode.
• To review the remaining sleep time, press SLEEP.
• To cancel the sleep timer, press and release SLEEP until

Notes:
• Selecting AUX does not power on a device connected to AUX IN
(such as a media player). Power on the device first.
• After 24 hours of no button presses, the system switches to
standby (off). If the 20-minute system standby timer (page 13)
is enabled, the system switches to standby if no audio is played
and no buttons are pressed for 20 minutes.

Storing AM/FM radio station Presets
You can store up to six FM and six AM radio stations
for quick recall using the PRESETS buttons. Storing
a preset replaces any station previously stored to
that preset number.
1. Tune to the station you want to save as a preset.
2. Press and hold one of the six PRESETS buttons until you hear
a double tone and the preset number and station frequency
appear on the display.
3. Press one of the PRESETS buttons to quickly tune to a
previously stored FM or AM station.
Improving FM reception
Unwind and straighten the power cord to ensure the best FM radio
reception. The power cord is used as an antenna.
• Press Tune/Playlist < to manually tune to a

Care and Maintenance
Troubleshooting
Problem What to do
System does not function • Connect the system to AC (mains) power.
• Unplug the power cord from the AC wall outlet for 10 seconds and then reconnect it; this resets
the system.
• Tap the touch pad on the top of the system to see if the system powers on (see page 8).
No sound • Increase the volume.
• Disconnect headphones from the system (connecting headphones mutes the speakers).
Poor sound quality • If the bass is too heavy or low, adjust the bass level of the system using the setup menu (see page 13).
• If listening to an external AUX source, use a stereo cable and that it is fully inserted.
Remote control is
inconsistent or does
not work
AM reception is weak • Turn the system slightly one way and then the other to change the direction of the internal AM antenna.
FM reception is weak • Extend the power cord as much as possible. The power cord acts as an FM antenna. See page 9.
• Operate the remote control closer to the system.
• Check that the remote control battery is installed with positive (+) polarity facing up.
• Replace the remote control battery.
• Check for interference from fluorescent room lighting, sunlight, or dust or dirt on lens.
• Try the system in a different location.
• Move the unit farther from a TV, refrigerator, halogen lamps, dimmer switches, or other electronic
equipment that generates electrical noise.
• If neither suggestion works, you may be in an area of weak AM signal coverage.
• See “Using an external antenna” on page 12.
