CONNECTING POWER

Installing Batteries

You can power the system with six D batteries (not supplied).  For the best
performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No.
23-550.

Follow these steps to install the batteries.

1.  Press the battery compartment cover's tab and lift off the cover.

2.  Install the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity
    symbols (+ and -) marked next to the compartment.

    NOTE:  Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.  Always
           remove old or weak batteries.  Batteries can leak chemicals that
           can destroy electronic circuits.

3.  Replace the cover.

If you are operating the system using battery power and the sound becomes
weak or distorted, replace the batteries.

CAUTION:  To avoid damage from leaking batteries, remove the batteries if
          you do not plan to use the system for a week or more.  Also, do
          not leave batteries in the system if you plan to use AC or DC
          power for an extended period of time.

Using AC Power

You can power the system from a standard AC outlet using the supplied AC
adapter.

CAUTIONS:  The adapter must supply 9 volts, its center tip must be set to
           negative, it must deliver 500 milliamps, and its plug must
           correctly fit the DC 9V INPUT jack.  The supplied adapter meets
           these requirements.  Using any other adapter could damage the
           system or the adapter.

           Always unplug the adapter from the AC outlet before unplugging
           it from the system.

1.  Remove the supplied AC adapter from the microphone/adapter compartment
    on the back of the system.

2.  Insert the adapter's plug into the system's DC 9V INPUT jack.

3.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

You can power the system from the vehicle's battery if the vehicle has a
12-volt DC, negative-ground electrical system.  This connection requires
a DC adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1802.

CAUTIONS:  If you are not sure what type of electrical system the vehicle
           has, check with the vehicle dealer.

           The adapter must supply 9 volts, its center tip must be set to
           negative, it must deliver 500 milliamps, and its plug must
           correctly fit the DC 9V INPUT jack.  The recommended adapter
           meets these requirements.  Using any other adapter could damage
           the system or the adapter.

Plug the smaller end of the adapter into the DC 9V INPUT jack on the back
of the system.  Then plug the larger end into the vehicle's cigarette-
lighter socket.

CAUTION:  To avoid electrical shock and damage to the system and vehicle,
          always unplug the adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket
          before unplugging it from the system.
