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.
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.
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.
