Mini Amplified Speaker  (320-2040)    Power Sources    Faxback Doc. # 15491

INSTALLING BATTERIES

You can power your speaker from four C batteries.  For best performance,
we recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-551.

Follow these steps to install the batteries:

1.  Press the battery compartment tab in the direction of the arrow, and
    lift up the battery compartment cover.

2.  Insert the batteries into the battery compartment as indicated by the
    polarity symbols (+ and -) and diagram marked inside the compartment.

3.  Replace the battery compartment cover.

NOTES:  If you are operating the speaker from battery power and the sound
        becomes weak or distorted, replace the batteries.

        Weak batteries can leak.  To avoid damage to the speaker, remove
        the batteries if you plan not to use the speaker for a week or
        more, or if you plan to use AC or DC power.

USING AC POWER

You can power the speaker from a standard AC outlet.  Using AC power
requires an adapter (not supplied) such as Cat. No. 273-1455A.

CAUTIONS:  You must use a AC adapter that supplies 9 volts and delivers
           at least 300 milliamps.  Its center tip must be set to
           negative, and its plug must correctly fit the speaker's DC 9V
           jack.  Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications
           could seriously damage the speaker or the adapter.

           To prevent electrical shock and damage to your speaker, always
           connect the AC adapter as instructed and always unplug the
           AC adapter from the outlet before you unplug it from the
           speaker.

Follow these steps to use AC power:

1.  Insert the adapter's barrel plug into the speaker's DC 9V jack.

2.  Plug the adapter's other end into a standard AC outlet.

CAUTIONS:  USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER

You can power your speaker from your vehicle's battery power.  This
requires an optional DC adapter, such as Radio Shack's Cat. No. 14-844D.

    Your vehicle must have a 12-volt DC, negative-ground electrical system.

    You must use an DC adapter that supplies 9 volts and delivers at least
    300 milliamps.  Its center tip must be set to negative, and its plug
    must correctly fit the speaker's DC 9V jack.  Using an adapter that
    does not meet these specifications could seriously damage the speaker
    or the adapter.

    To prevent electrical shock and damage to your speaker, always connect
    the DC adapter as instructed, and always unplug the DC adapter from the
    cigarette-lighter socket before you unplug it from the speaker.

Follow these steps to use your vehicle's battery power.

1.  Set the adapter's voltage switch to 9V and insert the small plug into
    the speaker's DC 9V jack.

2.  Insert the large plug into the cigarette-lighter socket.
