14. Refer all servicing to qualified service person-
nel. Servicing is required when the apparatus
has been damaged in any way: such as power-
supply cord or plug is damaged; liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus;
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or mois-
ture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped – Do not attempt to service this product
yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltages or other hazards. Please call
Bose to be referred to an authorized service center
near you.

Information about products that generate
electrical noise
If applicable, this equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursu-
ant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. This equipment gener-
ates, 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:
8. Do not install near any heat sources, such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appa-
ratus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polar-
ized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug
has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding-type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wider blade or third prong
is provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fit in your outlet, consult an electrician
for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit
than the one to which the receiver is connected.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.

Important Safety Instructions
18. Use Proper Power Sources – Plug the product into
a proper power source, as described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the product.
Antenna grounding
Example of antenna grounding as per National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
19. Avoid Power Lines – Use extreme care when install-
ing an outside antenna system to keep from touching
power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be
fatal. 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.
Antenna lead-in wire
20. Ground All Outdoor Antennas – If an external
antenna or cable system is connected to this product,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded. This
will provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges.

A Brief Introduction to Some Special Features
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Bose® Wave® radio ,,, an elegant way to bring high quality
sound into any room.
Over fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation brings you the benefits of award-winning
patented acoustic waveguide speaker technology. Using this technology, a tube efficiently
transfers energy from a small speaker to the outside air over a wide range of low frequencies.
And, long waveguides, folded into intricate patterns, fit into products small enough to be
placed comfortably in your home. Your Wave® radio ,, features new dual tapered waveguide
speaker technology, connecting two speakers to two 26" tapered waveguides which com-
bine to produce unprecedented instrument timbre from a system this size.
Dual tapered waveguides

TALK RADIO mode
Talk radio broadcasts can be greatly affected by either the microphone selection or the boost-
ing of low frequencies by some radio stations. They do so in an attempt to improve speech
when heard through conventional radios. In high-quality audio products, this results in sound
that is unnatural or bass heavy. By selecting the TALK RADIO mode, your Wave® radio ,, auto-
matically adjusts to compensate for artificially boosted low frequencies.
When the radio is playing, press Talk Radio twice to turn the TALK RADIO mode on or off.
When on, TALK RADIO– ON is displayed. When off, TALK RADIO– OFF is displayed.
Note: The TALK RADIO setting is automatically cancelled when you tune to another station,
switch to another source, or turn your Wave® radio ,, off.
