Using an external antenna

The Wave® radio III 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 FM dipole antenna can be ordered through Bose Customer Service. See the phone numbers listed inside the back cover of this guide.

Installing an external antenna for FM radio

1.Plug the 3.5 mm (1/8") plug of the FM antenna into the FM ANTENNA connector.

2.Extend the ends of the antenna in a horizontal orien- tation as far from the unit and other external equip- ment as possible to establish optimum reception.
