AM255380_01_V.PDF October 22, 2001 9 Setting Up Your Wave ® Radio Installing the battery WARNING: Keep the remote control battery away from children. It may cause a fire or chem- ical burn if mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100˚C (212˚F), or inciner- ate. Dispose of used battery promptly. Replace only with a battery of the correct type and model number. The 9V battery maintains clock and alarm settings and operates the Wave radio’s alarm sys- tem for approximately 48 hours during a power loss, or while the radio is temporarily unplugged. Operating without this battery results in the loss of clock and alarm settings, and station presets in the event of a power loss, but does not harm the radio. Use a standard 9V battery (IEC 6F22 in Europe), available at most retail stores. Note: The battery does not provide power for Wave radio operation or for the display. 1. Carefully turn your radio upside down. 2. Locate the battery compartment on the bottom (Figure 2). 3. Press the arrow on the cover to slide the compartment open. 4. Lift the battery clip out of the compartment and align it with the battery as shown. 5. Snap the terminals together firmly. 6. Place the battery in the compartment and slide the cover closed. Then turn the radio right side up. Figure 2 Installing the battery
10 October 22, 2001 AM255380_01_V.pdf Setting Up Your Wave ® Radio Connecting the power cord 1. Untie and straighten the bundled power cord completely to ensure the best FM recep- tion. The FM antenna is built into the power cord. 2. Plug the small end of the power cord into the power jack on the back of your radio (Figure 3). The connector is shaped to fit in only one direction. Line up the flat edge of the plug with the flat edge on the side of the jack. 3. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electric outlet. The display panel lights and the time display begins flashing. 4. Press the Clock Set button once to stop the flashing. See “Setting the time” on page 17 to set the clock. Figure 3 Connecting the power cord Adjusting the antennas With the FM antenna built into the power cord, adjusting the cord position affects FM radio reception slightly. With the AM antenna built into the radio, turning the radio more to one side or the other adjusts AM reception slightly. Receiving cable radio signals as an option To connect your radio to the FM signal available from some cable TV companies, contact your cable provider for assistance. The cable screws onto threads of the FM 75 Ω EXTERNAL antenna connector on the back of the Wave radio (Figure 3). To make this connection easier, you may want to obtain a screw-on to push-on RF adapter (available at electronic stores). CAUTION: Make sure the installation includes a signal splitter. It is important that only the FM band, not the cable TV band, is transmitted to the radio. It is necessary to use a splitter that filters the signal to prevent any re-emissions of the TV spectrum through the radio.
