MAKING CONNECTIONS

CAUTIONS:  To prevent electrical shock any AC-powered equipment which you
           connect to the amplifier should be connected to a 3-prong
           (grounded) AC outlet.

           To avoid damaging the MPS-31's speaker, connect the sound source
           to the amplifier before you connect the amplifier to power.

           Be sure to turn VOLUME to 0 before you connect the amplifier to
           power, or before you connect or disconnect a guitar's cable to
           the amplifier.

Connecting a Sound Source

Use an output cable with a 1/4-inch (635 mm) plug (such as Radio Shack
Cat. No. 42-2437 or 42-978) to connect an electric guitar, keyboard, or
microphone to the INPUT jack on the MPS-31.

Connecting Headphones

To listen privately or to monitor the sound source, connect low-impedance
headphones (not supplied) with a 1/4-inch plug into the PHONES jack on the
amplifier.  Your local Radio Shack store sells a wide selection of
headphones.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.

    Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.  After
    you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

    Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.  Extended high-volume
    listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

    Once you set the Volume, do not increase it.  Over time, your ears
    adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause
    discomfort might still damage your hearing.

Connecting to Power

Make sure Volume is set to 0, then connect the AC power cord to a standard
AC outlet.
