The Bose® Wave® Radio Owner's Guide January 4, 2002 AM189930_01_V.pdf FPO Safety Instructions WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the Wave® radio to rain or moisture. CAUTION To reduce the risk of shock, do not remove the cover. There are no user-serviceable parts 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, alerts the user to uninsulated dangerous voltage within the system enclosure which may cause electric shock. The exclamation point, within an equilateral triangle as marked on the system, alerts the user to important operating and maintenance instructions in this owner's guide. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK--DO NOT OPEN TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert. ATTENTION: Pour éviter les chocs électriques, introduire la lame la plus large de la fiche dans la borne correspondante de la prise et pousser jusqu'au fond. AVIS RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE--NE PAS OUVRIR AFIN DE PRÉVENIR UN CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE NE PAS ENLEVER LE COUVERCLE ARRIÈRE. IL NE SE TROUVE À L'INTÉRIEUR AUCUNE PIÈCE POUVANT ÊTRE RÉPARÉE PAR LÚSAGER. S'ADRESSER À UN RÉPARATEUR COMPÉTENT. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, this is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: · Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna and the power cord. · Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver. · Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit than the one to which the receiver is connected. · Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Note: This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications. Le présent appareil numérique n'émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe B prescrites dans le Réglement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le Ministére des communications du Canada. Note: Unauthorized modification of the receiver could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. 2 January 4, 2002 AM189930_01_V.pdf Safety Instructions For your safety 1. 2. 3. 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. Pay Attention To Warnings ­ Observe all warnings on the unit and in the guide. 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 basement, near a swimming pool, or anywhere else that water is present. Clean only as directed on page 18. 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. Avoid Excessive Heat ­ Do not place the unit near heat sources such as radiators, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 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. 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. 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. 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. Be careful when moving the unit and cart combination. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause it to overturn. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Avoid Power Lines ­ Do not install external antennas near overhead power lines or other electric light 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. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the ground electrode. Refer to the antenna grounding illustration. 12. Obtain Authorized Service When It Is Indicated ­ Do not attempt to service this unit yourself. All 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.

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 immediately. 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.

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. 2. 3. 4. Carefully turn your radio upside down (avoid scratching its top). Locate the battery compartment on the bottom (see Figure 2). Press the arrow on the cover to slide the compartment open. Place the batteries inside, matching the + and ­ symbols with the symbols inside the compartment. Slide the cover back and turn the radio right side up.
