Setting Up Your Wave® Radio
Before you begin
Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Wave radio.
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.
Your Wave radio also includes:
• Integrated system design for high acoustic quality requiring no complex adjustments
• A high performance stereo tuner with 6 AM and 6 FM station presets
• Two independent alarms, with battery backup power to save the settings for wakeup during
power loss
• A credit card-size infrared remote control with optional mounting strip
• Inputs for an additional sound source, such as a CD or tape player
To fully appreciate all of these features, please take the time to follow this owner’s guide care-
fully. It helps you set up and operate your radio and enjoy its high-fidelity sound.

Setting Up Your Wave® Radio
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 inciner-
ate. 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.

Setting Up Your Wave® Radio
Connecting the power cord
1. Untie and straighten the bundled power cord completely to ensure the best FM recep-
tion. The FM antenna is built into the power cord.
2. Plug the small end of the power cord into the power jack on the back of your radio (Figure
3). The connector is shaped to fit in only one direction. Line up the flat edge of the plug
with the flat edge on the side of the jack.
3. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electric outlet. The display panel lights and
the time display begins flashing.
4. Press the Clock Set button once to stop the flashing. See “Setting the time” on page 17
to set the clock.

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 radio to the FM signal available from some cable TV companies, contact
your cable provider for assistance.
The cable screws onto threads of the FM 75Ω EXTERNAL antenna connector on the back of
the Wave radio (Figure 3). To make this connection easier, you may want to obtain a screw-on
to push-on RF adapter (available at electronic stores).
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. It is necessary to use a splitter that
filters the signal to prevent any re-emissions of the TV spectrum through the radio.
