REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE

ATTENTION : POUR RÉDUIRE LE RISQUE DE DÉCHARGE

ÉLECTRIQUE, NE RETIREZ PAS LE COUVERCLE (OU

L’ARRIÈRE). IL NE SE TROUVE ÀL’INTÉRIEURAUCUNE

PIÈCE POUVANT ÊTRE RÉPARÉE PARL’USAGER.

AVIS

NE PAS OUVRIR

These CAUTION marks are located on the bottom of your Wave radio:

The lightning ﬂash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the system enclosure that may be of sufﬁcient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric 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.

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, insert fully.

ATTENTION: Pour éviter les chocs électriques, introduire la lame la plus large de la ﬁche

dans la borne correspondante de la prise et pousser jusqu’au fond.

WARNING: Keep the remote control battery away from children. It may cause a ﬁre or chem-

ical burn if mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100˚C (212˚F), or incinerate. Dispose of used battery promptly. Replace only with a battery of the correct type and model number.

WARNING: No naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the

apparatus.

Batteries

Please dispose of used batteries properly, following any local regulations. Do not incinerate.

Please read this owner’s guide

Please take the time to follow this owner’s guide carefully. It will help you set up and operate your radio properly, and enjoy all of its advanced features. Save your owner’s guide for future reference.

Note: DO NOT place the Wave radio on any heat-sensitive surface, such as the ﬁnished sur-

face of ﬁne furniture. Like all electrical equipment, it generates some heat.

Information about products that generate electrical noise

If applicable, this equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, this is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit

than the one to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician

for help.

Note: Unauthorized modification of the receiver or radio re-

mote control could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

This product complies with the Canadian ICES-003 Class B specifications

Important Safety Information

18. Use proper power sources

– Plug the product into a proper power source, as described in the operating instructions or as marked on the product.

19. Avoid power lines

– Use extreme care when installing an outside antenna system to keep from touching power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal. 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.

20. Ground all outdoor antennas

– If an external antenna or cable system is connected to this product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded. This will provide some protection against voltage surges and builtup 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 grounding conductors, location of antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the ground electrode. Refer to the antenna grounding illustration on this page.

Note to CATV system installer

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC (of USA) that provides guidelines for proper grounding. In particular, 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.

Thank you for purchasing the Bose

Fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation bring you the beneﬁts of award-winning pat-

ented acoustic waveguide speaker technology. Using this technology, a tube efﬁciently trans-

fers energy from a small loudspeaker to the outside air over a whole range of bass notes.

And, by folding long waveguides into intricate patterns, they ﬁt into products small enough to

be placed comfortably in your home. There is a 37-inch (93.5-cm) long waveguide inside the

Wave radio’s enclosure, enabling this tabletop radio to produce room-ﬁlling sound with full,

deep bass.

Radio

Selecting a location for your radio

Please keep these guidelines in mind when selecting a location for your radio:

• Place the radio on a table or other ﬂat surface.

• Do not place it on a metal surface or table that could interfere with AM reception.

• Do not place it on a heat-sensitive surface. Like all electrical equipment, it generates some

heat.

• To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, put the product in a position and location that will not interfere with its proper ventilation.

• Do not use the radio in a damp location. It is important to prevent moisture from getting into the unit.

• Locate it within 2 feet (61 cm) of a wall for best bass performance.

• Place it across the room from where you will be listening to enjoy maximum performance of

the Wave radio.

Feel free to place and position it where you ﬁnd the sound most pleasing.

Installing the battery

WARNING: Keep the remote control battery away from children. It may cause a ﬁre or chem-

ical burn if mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100˚C (212˚F), or incinerate. Dispose of used battery promptly. Replace only with a battery of the correct type and model number.

The 9V battery maintains clock and alarm settings and operates the Wave radio’s alarm sys- tem for approximately 48 hours during a power loss, or while the radio is temporarily unplugged. Operating without this battery results in the loss of clock and alarm settings, and station presets in the event of a power loss, but does not harm the radio.

Use a standard 9V battery (IEC 6F22 in Europe), available at most retail stores.

Note: The battery does not provide power for Wave radio operation or for the display.

1. Carefully turn your radio upside down.

2. Locate the battery compartment on the bottom (Figure 2).

3. Press the arrow on the cover to slide the compartment open.

4. Lift the battery clip out of the compartment and align it with the battery as shown.

5. Snap the terminals together ﬁrmly.

6. Place the battery in the compartment and slide the cover closed. Then turn the radio right

side up.
