Install the batteries
The Wave radio’s three AA batteries maintain the memory and backup alarm system for up to a
week during a power failure, or while the radio is unplugged. Operating without batteries leaves
the memory unprotected, but will not harm the radio. Use AA batteries (IEC-R6 in Europe),
available at many retail stores.
Note:
The batteries will not power the radio or
light the display.
1. Carefully turn your radio upside down (avoid
scratching its top).
2. Locate the battery compartment on the
bottom (see Figure 2).
3. Press the arrow on the cover to slide the
compartment open.
4. Place the batteries inside, matching the +
and – symbols with the symbols inside the
compartment.
5. Slide the cover back and turn the radio right
side up.
Setting Up
Unpack the carton
Carefully unpack the carton. Do not attempt to use the Wave
®
radio if any part appears
damaged. Instead, repack the carton and notify Bose
®
or your authorized Bose dealer immedi-
ately.
It is best to place the radio across the room from where you will be listening. Place the radio on
a table or other flat surface. Do not put it on a metal surface or table that could interfere with
AM reception. If you will use the radio with your television or VCR, do not place it on top of the
television. It may interfere with the picture quality.
Locate the power cord, AA batteries, remote control, and lithium battery.
