Using other components
Use your Wave® radio to improve the sound of a CD player, cassette deck, or TV. Or add
powered Bose® speakers. You can also use your Wave® radio as extension speakers for the Bose
Lifestyle® music system. Most audio cables are available at electronics stores. Or call Bose.
Most audio cables are color coded. Match the red plugs to the right (red) jack and the black or
white plugs to the left (white) jack.

Maintenance
Maintaining the Wave® radio
The only necessary maintenance is periodic battery replacement and cleaning.
Replace the batteries
To protect your Wave® radio’s memory and backup alarm system, replace the batteries every
year and when you have an extended power loss. Dead batteries may leak and cause damage.
Do not unplug your Wave
® radio from the power outlet while replacing the batteries. If you do
unplug it, you will need to reset the clock, alarm settings, and station presets. For further
information on replacing batteries, see “Install the batteries” on page 5.
For further information on replacing the remote control battery see “Install the battery” on page 7.
How to clean
Use only a cloth to clean the outside of the Wave® radio. Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or
cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives. Do not allow liquids to spill into
any openings on the radio. If necessary, you may use a soft-bristled attachment to gently
vacuum the front of the radio.
