Bose® WAVERADIOIVSL Owner's Manual

Care and Maintenance

System does not function

•  Connect the system to AC (mains) power.
•  Unplug the power cord from the AC wall outlet for 10 seconds and then reconnect it; this resets  

the system.

•  Tap the touch pad on the top of the system to see if the system powers on (see page 8).

No sound

•  Increase the volume.
•  Disconnect headphones from the system (connecting headphones mutes the speakers).

Poor sound quality

•  If the bass is too heavy or low, adjust the bass level of the system using the setup menu (see page 13).
•  If listening to an external AUX source, use a stereo cable and that it is fully inserted.

Remote control is 

 inconsistent or does  

not work

•  Operate the remote control closer to the system.
•  Check that the remote control battery is installed with positive (+) polarity facing up.
•  Replace the remote control battery.
•  Check for interference from fluorescent room lighting, sunlight, or dust or dirt on lens.
•  Try the system in a different location.

AM reception is weak

•  Turn the system slightly one way and then the other to change the direction of the internal AM antenna.
•  Move the unit farther from a TV, refrigerator, halogen lamps, dimmer switches, or other electronic 

 equipment that generates electrical noise.

•  If neither suggestion works, you may be in an area of weak AM signal coverage.

FM reception is weak

•  Extend the power cord as much as possible. The power cord acts as an FM antenna. See page 9.
•  See “Using an external antenna” on page 12.
