inside. Refer servicing to authorized service personnel.  
These CAUTION marks appear on the bottom of your Wave® radio.  
The lightning flash, with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended  
to alert the user to 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,

Safety Instructions  
For your safety  
1. Read, Follow And Save All Instructions – Read and follow the complete safety and operating  
instructions in this owner’s guide before using the unit. Save this guide for future reference.  
2. Pay Attention To Warnings – Observe all warnings on the unit and in the guide.  
3. Do Not Let Objects Or Liquid Enter The Unit – Take care to prevent objects or liquids from  
entering this unit. Do not use near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet base-  
ment, near a swimming pool, or anywhere else that water is present. Clean only as directed on page  
13.  
4. Maintain Proper Ventilation – Place the unit so nothing interferes with its proper ventilation. Do not  
place on a bed, sofa, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings. Do not put it in a  
bookcase or cabinet that may keep air from flowing through its ventilation openings.  
5. Avoid Excessive Heat – Do not place the unit near heat sources such as radiators, stoves, or other  
appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
6. Use Proper Power Sources – Plug the unit into a proper power supply, as described in the  
operating instructions or as marked on the unit. This unit has a polarized alternating current line plug  
(one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, the plug fits into the power outlet only one  
way. If you have trouble inserting it, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, your outlet may be  
obsolete and needs to be replaced. Contact an electrician. Do not change the plug to defeat this  
safety feature.  
7. Protect The Power Cord – Route all power cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or  
pinched. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, at the point where the cord connects to the unit,  
and at outlets on the unit.  
8. Take Precautions When Unit Is Not In Use – If the unit will not be used for an extended period,  
unplug from the outlet and remove the batteries.  
9. Be Careful With Carts And Stands – Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,  
bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a person or damage to the unit. For  
advice on use of a particular cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table, contact Bose® Corporation.  
10. Avoid Power Lines – Do not install external antennas near overhead power lines or other electric light  
If you must move the unit and cart  
combination, do so very carefully.  
Quick stops, excessive force, and  
uneven surfaces may cause it to  
overturn.  
or power circuits, nor where an antenna can fall into such circuits or power lines.  
11. Ground All Outdoor Antennas – If an external antenna or cable system is connected to this unit, be  
sure the antenna or cable system is grounded. This will provide some protection against voltage  
surges and built-up static charges.

Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70

servicing should be provided by authorized service personnel when:  
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged, or  
B. Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the unit, or  
C. The unit has been exposed to rain, or  
D. The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance, or  
E. The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

Setting Up  
Unpack the carton (see Figure 1)  
Carefully unpack the carton. Do not attempt to use the Wave® radio if any part appears dam-  
aged. Instead, repack the carton and notify Bose® or your authorized Bose dealer immediately.  
Place the Wave® radio on a table or other flat surface. Locate the FM and AM antennas, the  
power cord, and the AA batteries.

The Wave® radio’s three AA batteries maintain its memory and backup alarm system for up to  
a week during a power failure, or while the radio is unplugged. The batteries will not power the  
radio or light the display. Operating without batteries leaves the memory unprotected, but will  
not harm the radio. Use only 1.5V AA alkaline batteries (IEC-R6 in Europe), available at many  
retail stores.

WARNING:  
1
The remote control battery may  
cause a fire or chemical burn if  
mishandled. Keep it away from  
children. Do not recharge,  
disassemble, heat above 100˚C  
(212˚F), or incinerate. Dispose of  
used battery promptly. Replace  
with a battery of the type and  
model mentioned in the note  
above. Using another battery may  
cause a fire or explosion.  
How to operate  
Aim the remote control at your Wave® radio. The remote normally works up to 20 feet in front  
of the radio, and 6 feet to either side. Use the remote keys in the same way you use the radio  
control panel. Replace the remote control battery when it stops operating, or its range seems  
reduced (normally every year or two).

Maintaining the Wave radio  
The only necessary maintenance is periodic battery replacement and cleaning.  
Replace the batteries  
To protect your Wave® radio’s memory and backup alarm system, replace the batteries every  
year and when you have an extended power loss. Dead batteries may leak and cause damage.  
Do not unplug your Wave® radio from the power outlet while replacing the batteries. If you do  
unplug it, you will need to reset the clock, alarm settings, and station presets. For further  
information on replacing batteries, see “Install the batteries” on page 5.  
For further information on replacing the remote control battery see “Install the battery” on page 7.  
How to clean  
Use only a cloth to clean the outside of the Wave® radio. Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or  
cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives. Do not allow liquids to spill into  
any openings on the radio. If necessary, you may use a soft-bristled attachment to gently  
vacuum the front of the radio.
