Bose® WAVERADIOIVSL Owner's Manual

For private listening, plug the headphones into the headphone  

connector on the rear panel of the system.

CAUTION:  Long-term exposure to loud music may cause hearing 

damage. It is best to avoid extreme volume when using 

headphones, especially for extended periods.

Notes: 
•  Plugging in headphones automatically mutes the speakers.   

Because headphone volume levels may vary from speaker 

volume levels, be sure to lower the volume of the system before 

connecting or  disconnecting headphones.

•  While using headphones, alarms will be heard through the  

system speakers.

Controlling headphones volume:
Press and hold

or

to adjust the listening level of your 

headphones.

The system’s 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 the provided external FM 

dipole antenna.
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 establish optimum 

reception.

Note:  Many FM radio stations transmit a vertically polarized signal 

as well as, or instead of, a horizontally polarized signal. If 

the horizontal antenna orientation does not provide good 

reception, try hanging the antenna in a vertical orientation.
