Unpacking
Please check the shipping carton for the following items:
*The appropriate power cord(s) for your region is supplied.
Selecting a location
• Place your Wave ® radio
III on a table or other flat
surface.
• To enjoy maximum audio performance, place your
Wave ® radio
III across the room from where you will
be listening.
• For best audio performance, place your Wave ® radio
III within two feet of a wall, and avoid placing directly
in a corner.
Notes:
• Do not place your Wave ® radio
III on a metal surface. It
could interfere with AM reception.
• Do not place your Wave ® radio
III on a heat-sensitive
surface. Like all electrical equipment, it generates some
heat.
• Do not use your Wave ® radio
III in a damp location or
any other place where moisture can get inside.
Connecting to power
1. Insert the small end of the power cord into the con-
nector labeled AC POWER on the rear panel of your
Wave
® radio
III.
2. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
3. Unwind and straighten the power cord to ensure the
best reception for FM radio. Your Wave
® radio
III
uses the power cord as an antenna.

III, set the clock
using the remote. Your Wave ® radio
