Setting Up 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 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 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 1. Unwind the power cord completely to ensure the best FM reception. The FM antenna is built into the power cord. 2. Plug the power cord into an electric outlet (Figure 3). The display panel lights and the time display begins flashing. 3. Press and hold either Time or button to stop the flashing and set the time.
Setting Up Setting up the remote control WARNING: Keep the remote control battery away from children. It may cause a fire or chemical burn if mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 212˚F (100˚C), or incinerate. Dispose of used battery promptly. Replace only with a battery of the correct type and model number. Your remote control may be one of two types (Figure 4A or 4B). Each is identified by the way the battery compartment unlocks to install or replace the battery. 1.
Setting Up Note: Use only a Duracell, Eveready, Maxell, or Toshiba CR2032 or DL2032 lithium battery (available at electronics stores). If you have difficulty finding a replacement battery, contact Bose® Product Support (see phone numbers on the inside back cover). 3. Keeping the remote control face down, insert the new battery into the compartment with the + symbol facing up. 4. Gently slide the battery compartment closed. It locks automatically. 5.
Setting Up Connecting other components as an option You can use your Wave® Radio/CD to improve the sound of a TV, VCR, computer, or tape player. Or use it as extension speakers for a Bose® Lifestyle® music system. Connect one of these components to the R (right) and L (left) AUX IN jacks. To play your radio or CD player through external speakers, connect powered speakers with an independent volume control to the system’s R (right) and L (left) LINE OUT jacks.
Setting Up Component Cable Portable tape player One miniplug-tostereo audio cable Connection at component Connection at Wave Radio/CD Headphone jack AUX IN jacks AUX IN For best sound, set the player volume control to approximately 3/4 of maximum volume. CD changer, tape deck, or VCR One stereo audio cable Audio output jacks Bose® Lifestyle® music system ® Use a standard RCA cable for a TV with stereo output jacks. Use a standard Y adapter for a TV with a single (mono) audio output jack.
Operating Your Wave® Radio/CD Using the remote control You can use the remote control to operate the most frequently used functions of the radio, CD player, and alarms. Aim the remote control at the display of your Wave Radio/CD. Use the remote buttons in the same way you use the system control panel. The remote normally works up to 20 feet in front of the system, and 6 feet to either side. Replace the remote control battery when it stops operating, or its range seems reduced (normally every year or two).
Operating Your Wave® Radio/CD Using the radio/CD control panel In addition to controlling the most frequently used functions of the radio, CD player, and alarms, control panel buttons allow you to set the time, alarms, CD mode, and radio presets (Figure 8). Using button combinations on the control panel gives you access to additional special features (such as customizing the display and programming the CD player). For details, refer to the “Quick Reference to Special Functions” on page 28.
