Why does my AM radio work but not FM?
Problem with the FM tuner section Your radio may not pick FM signals if it has an issue with its FM tuner section. Sometimes the reason why your radio is not picking up any FM signals is that the tuner is misaligned. In that case, you need the services of a technician to help you fix this problem.
Why is there no FM signal on my Bose radio?
The radio may have come with an FM antenna in the box – usually it’s just a length of wire with a plug on it. I have a cheap RCA clock radio that picks up FM signals but I can’t get FM on an expensive Bose AM/FM Wave radio! Its sitting right next to the cheap one but no FM! What’s up with that?

Why are the batteries on my Bose radio going dead?
NOTE: Most every radio we receive has dead backup batteries. This is because the batteries will only last up to 3 days without the radio being plugged into the wall outlet. Also, the batteries only last about a year under normal use, so most people forget about them and they go dead.

What kind of antenna does a Bose Wave radio use?
Most Bose Wave radios have internal circuits that use the AC power cord (and house wiring) as an FM antenna (not applicable to models AWRCC1 and AWRCC2). This is a convenient method to receive FM signals but has its drawbacks.
