 music system

Using an external antenna
The Wave
®
 music system 
III power cord is used as an 
antenna for FM radio. If, after adjusting the position of 
the power cord, you still experience poor reception, you 
may need to install an external antenna. An external FM 
dipole antenna can be ordered through Bose Customer 
Service. See the phone numbers listed inside the back 
cover of this guide.
1.
Insert the 3.5 mm plug of the FM antenna into the 
FM ANTENNA
 connector.
2.
Extend the ends of the antenna as far from the unit 
and other external equipment as possible to estab-
lish optimum reception.
Note: Many FM radio stations transmit a vertically polar-
ized signal as well as, or instead of, a horizontally polarized 
signal. If the horizontal antenna orientation does not pro-
vide good reception, try hanging the antenna in a vertical 
orientation.
