Getting Started

Unpack the unit carefully. Remove all the accessories from the display carton. Do not remove any labels or stickers on the rear of the unit and adaptor. Before setting up the unit, verify that the following accessories are present:

  • Instruction manual x 1
  • AC power adaptor x 1
  • Main unit x 1
  • Remote control x 1

Power Source

This unit is supplied with an AC adaptor; take the following steps to connect the adaptor.

  1. Unwind the power cord of the AC adaptor to its full length.
  2. Connect the DC plug of the AC adaptor to the DC Jack (Fig. 1).
  3. Plug the AC adaptor to the AC outlet (110v – 240v AC. 60 Hz). Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the system. For sufficient ventilation, keep other objects at least 4 inches away from the unit.
  4. To switch the unit off completely, withdraw the AC adaptor from the wall outlet.

Setting Clock Time

AUTOSET CLOCK

The Wave speaker system is equipped with an autoset clock, meaning the clock will automatically set itself when plugged in. Please note: the clock will automatically default to Eastern Standard Time, but can be adjusted by pressing the TIME ZONE button on the remote control (fig. 3) and scrolling through the different time zone until the proper time is set.

MANUALLY SETTING THE CLOCK (Fig. 2 & 3)

  1. While the unit is powered OFF press EJECT on the top of the unit to expose the dock and buttons.
  2. Press and hold the SOURCE button on the unit (press TIME SET button on remote control). The time zone will begin flashing, use the + and – buttons on the speaker or the VOL+ and VOL buttons on the remote control to set the desired time zone, using the list below for reference: A1. AST A3. CST A5. PST A7. HST A2. EST A4. MST A6. AKST
  3. Press the SOURCE button again (or TIME SET button on the remote control) and the hour will begin flashing. Use the + and – buttons on the unit or on the remote control to set the hour, paying attention to the PM indicator.

The 7-5-2 alarm feature allows you to set an alarm for seven days a week, Monday through Friday, or Saturday and Sunday. So, for instance, setting a 5-day alarm means it will go off at the same time Monday through Friday, which is why properly setting the day of the week is important. Once the day of week is set, press the SOURCE button again to exit Clock Setting mode.
