WAVE® radio/CD tips

Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your WAVE® radio/CD.

1. Dual alarms make waking easier for heavy sleepers or for two people who wake up at different times.

To enter alarm setup mode:  Press and release Alarm Setup. The system is now in alarm setup mode. ALARM 1 flashes for 10 seconds.

To select which alarm to set:  While ALARM 1 is flashing, set alarm time, volume, and alarm sound (tone, radio, or CD), for Alarm

1. Press Alarm Setup again until ALARM 2 is flashing. While it flashes for 10 seconds, begin to set Alarm 2.
2. Set the brightness level to your preference, day or night.

To adjust the display brightness: The display dims automatically to medium or low brightness, as appropriate for low light room conditions. You can adjust the brightness setting of the display for both strong light and lowest light environments, but not for the medium light setting. Turn the system off before setting brightness levels.

• In a strongly lit room, hold down CD Mode  and press Volume  or  to adjust the setting between 5 and 9 (it is preset to 8).

• In a barely lit room, hold down CD Mode  and press Volume or  to adjust the setting between 1 and 5 (it is preset to 2).

• If you do not want the system to dim automatically, set both levels to 5.

To turn the display off completely: With the system off, hold down CD Mode  and press On/Off  to turn off the main display. The display only lights briefly when you press any buttons and while the alarm is sounding. Repeat this step to turn the main display back on.

3. If you dislike alarms and morning radio, try waking up to your favourite CD.

While the selected alarm is flashing, press CD  to select and display that source. The tone is no longer selected.

• Setting CD alarm, track 1 is shown. Or, use Track/Tune < or > to select a specific track or time location for the alarm. Press CD Mode  to select RANDOM or TRACK REPEAT. The CD plays, repeating as needed, until the alarm shuts off.

To set the alarm source to something other than a CD: While the selected alarm is flashing, press FMAM, or CD  to select and display that source. The tone is no longer selected.

• To reset to tone, press the source currently selected (FMAM, or CD), which deselects it.

• When no source is displayed, the alarm is set to tone.

• Setting FM or AM alarm, the station last used for this alarm is shown. Or, use Presets or Track/Tune  < or > to select a station.

• To set radio or CD followed by tone, select radio or CD alarm, then press CD Stop. AUX is not available as an alarm source.
