CONNECTING POWER

For portable use, you can power the speaker system from internal batteries.
Using an optional AC adapter, you can also power it from a standard AC
outlet.

USING BATTERIES

You can power the speaker system from four C batteries (two in each
speaker).  For the best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, such
as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-551.

1.  Press the tab on each speaker's battery compartment cover in the
    direction of the arrow, then lift off the cover.

2.  Insert two batteries into each speaker's compartment, as indicated by
    the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside the compartment.

    CAUTION:  Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.

3.  Replace the covers.

NOTES:  If you won't be using the speaker system for a week or more, or
        if you plan to use it with AC power, remove the batteries from
        each speaker.

        If the speaker system's sound weakens or distorts, or the POWER
        indicator dims during use, replace the batteries in both
        speakers.

CAUTION:  Always dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

USING AC POWER

You can power your speaker system from a standard AC outlet using a 9-volt
AC adapter (not supplied), such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 273-1656.

CAUTIONS:  You must use an AC adapter that supplies 9 volts DC power and
           delivers at least 800 milliamps.  Its center tip must be set to
           negative, and its plug must properly fit the speaker system's DC
           9V jack.  The recommended adapter meets these specifications. 
           Using an adapter than does not meet these specifications could
           damage the speaker system or the adapter.

           Always plug the AC adapter into the speaker system before you
           plug it into the AC outlet.  Always unplug the AC adapter from
           the AC outlet before you unplug it from the speaker system.

1.  Set AMPLIFIER to OFF.

2.  Insert the AC adapter's barrel plug into the DC 9V jack on the rear of
    the left (L) speaker.

3.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

CONNECTING THE AUDIO SOURCE

You can connect the speaker system to any audio source that has a 1/8 inch
headphone or line-out jack.

NOTES:  Connecting the speaker system to a headphone jack usually
        disconnects any other speaker(s) connected to the audio source.

        If the speaker system is connected to a line-out jack, the audio
        source's volume control has no effect on the speaker system's
        volume.

1.  Set AMPLIFIER to OFF, then be sure that the audio source's power is
    also turned off.

2.  Plug the speaker system's 1/8-inch plug into the audio source's
    headphone or line-out jack.
