Using an external antenna

The Wave SoundTouch music system's power cord is used as an
® ™
antenna for FM and DIGITAL 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 dipole antenna can be
ordered through Bose Customer Service. Refer to the quick start
guide in the carton for contact information.

Installing an external FM radio 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.
