Setting Up English Before you begin Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Wave® radio/CD. Fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation bring you the benefits of award-winning patented acoustic waveguide speaker technology. Using this technology, a tube efficiently transfers 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.
Setting Up Unpacking the carton English Carefully unpack your system. Save all packing materials for possible future use. The original packing materials provide the safest way to transport your Wave® radio/CD. If any part of the product appears damaged, do not attempt to use it. Notify Bose® Product Support immediately (see phone numbers on the inside back cover). Check to be sure your Wave® radio/CD contains the parts identified in Figure 1.
Setting Up English Installing the battery The 9-volt battery maintains clock and alarm settings and operates the Wave® radio/CD’s backup alarm system for up to 24 hours, during a power loss or while the system is temporarily unplugged. Operating without this battery leaves the memory unprotected, but will not harm the product. Use a standard 9V battery (IEC 6F22 in Europe), available at most retail stores. Use an alkaline battery for longer backup time.
Setting Up Connecting the power cord 2. Press and hold either Time or button to stop the flashing and set the time. Figure 3 Connecting the power cord CAUTION: Bose recommends using a quality surge suppressor on all electronic equipment. Voltage variations and spikes can damage electronic components in any system.
