Introduction
About your Wave®Radio IV
Your Wave®Radio IV provides an elegant way to bring high quality
sound into any room.
System Features
• Display provides access to system settings and information.
• AUX connector enables playback from an audio device.
• Headphone connector for private listening.
• AM/FM tuner delivers precise radio reception.
• Remote control for point-and-click control from up to
20 feet away.
e benefits of research
Over fourteen years of research by Bose Corporation brings you
the benefits of award-winning proprietary 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 IV features dual
tapered waveguide speaker technology, connecting two
speakers to two 26" tapered waveguides which combine to deliver
performance well beyond the size of the system.

Introducción
Acerca de la radio Wave®IV
La radio Wave®IV proporciona una forma elegante de llevar sonido
de alta calidad de manera inalámbrica a cualquier habitación.
Características del sistema
• La pantalla brinda acceso a la configuración e información
del sistema.
• El conector AUX permite la reproducción desde un dispositivo
de audio.
• Conector para auriculares para escucha privada.
• El sintonizador de AM/FM que ofrece una recepción de

Los beneficios de la investigación
Más de catorce años de investigación de Bose Corporation le
brindan los beneficios de la premiada y exclusiva tecnología de
altavoces con guía de ondas acústicas. Al usar esta tecnología,
un tubo transfiere eficazmente la energía de un altavoz pequeño
al aire exterior a través de una amplia gama de frecuencias bajas.
Además, las guías de ondas largas, plegadas en complejos
patrones, se adaptan a productos lo suficientemente pequeños
como para colocarlos cómodamente en casa. La radio Wave®IV
cuenta con tecnología de altavoces con guías de ondas cónicas
dobles, que conectan dos altavoces a dos guías de ondas cónicas
de 26””, que se combinan para brindar un desempeño superior al
tamaño del sistema.

Instalación del sistema
Colocación del sistema
• Para disfrutar una potencia máxima de audio:
— Coloque el sistema al otro lado de la habitación lejos del
punto de escucha.
— Coloque el sistema a menos de 0,6 m (dos pies) de una
pared y evite colocarlo directamente en una esquina.
• Coloque el sistema sobre una superficie plana y estable.
PRECAUCIONES:
• No coloque el sistema sobre una superficie de metal. Podría
interferir con la recepción de AM.
• No coloque el sistema sobre una superficie sensible al calor.
Al igual que todos los equipos eléctricos, genera cierto calor.
• No use el sistema en una ubicación húmeda ni en ningún otro
lugar donde pueda humedecerse por dentro.
Conexión a la fuente de alimentación
1. Inserte el extremo pequeño del cable de corriente de CA en
el conector AC POWER.
2. Enchufe el cable de corriente en una salida de alimentación de
CA (red eléctrica).
Ajuste del reloj
Después de enchufar el sistema, ajuste el reloj usando
el control remoto.
1. Mantenga presionado Time – o Time + durante un segundo
aproximadamente.
Nota: Las operaciones que requieren mantener presionado un
botón requieren que el botón se mantenga presionado
durante un segundo.
Inicialmente, aparece en pantalla HOLD TO SET y luego
cambia rápidamente a – CLOCK SET – al oprimir el botón.
2. Suelte el botón Time seleccionado.
3. Presione Time – para ajustar la hora en pantalla hacia atrás,
o presione Time + para ajustar la hora en pantalla hacia
adelante hasta que coincida con la hora actual. También
puede mantener presionado para realizar un ajuste rápido.
4. Espere cinco segundos para que el sistema salga del modo de
ajuste del reloj.
Notas:
• Para cambiar el reloj del formato de 12 horas (AM/PM) al de
24 horas, vea “Cambiar un ajuste del sistema” en la página 13.
• Si el sistema pierde potencia, debido a un corte de energía, o si
desenchufa el sistema, se conservarán todos los ajustes del
sistema de forma definitiva. Sin embargo, la hora del reloj solo
se almacena temporalmente en una memoria de reserva durante
48 horas como máximo.
