2.Put the batteries in the compart- ment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

Notes: illustration

•Connecting an AC or DC adapter automatically disconnects internal batteries.

•Always disconnect an adapter when you finish using the Con- certmate-580.

Using Batteries

Your Concertmate-580 can use six C batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-551.

Caution: Only use fresh batteries of the required size and type.

3. Replace the cover.

Notes:

•If you won’t be using the Concert- mate-580 with batteries for a week or more, remove the batteries.

•If the Concertmate-580 sounds weak or does not work properly, replace all six batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries.

Caution: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.
