To help you make the proper connec- tions, one side of each pair of speaker wire conductors is marked with a stripe or groove, normally considered the positive

(+) polarity wire.

Note: The insulation in some speaker wires is clear, and the separate conduc- tors are brass and silver. Use the brass wire as the positive (+) polarity wire.

1.Connect your amplifier’s left and right OUTPUT speaker terminals to the subwoofer’s INPUT terminals.

2.Connect the left satellite speaker’s wires to the subwoofer’s LEFT OUT- PUT terminals.

3.Connnect the right satellite speaker’s wires to the subwoofer’s

RIGHT OUTPUT terminals.

Caution: Do not exceed this system’s power handling capacity (see “Specifica- tions”). To avoid damage to the speaker system, set the amplifier’s volume to its lowest setting before operating the stereo system’s controls.

Note: You can use the H/L (high/low) switch on the back of each satellite to ad- just the tone of the satellites’ tweeters. Set H/L to H for a “bright” sound, or L for a “flat” sound.

CARE AND

MAINTENANCE

Your Optimus PRO SWS-502 Satellite Subwoofer Speaker System is an exam- ple of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for the system, so you can enjoy it for years.

Handle the system gently and care- fully. Dropping it can damage it and cause it to work improperly.

Keep the system dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids con- tain minerals that can corrode elec- tronic circuits.

Wipe the system occasionally with a cloth dampened with furniture polish. This helps to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the speaker cabinet.

Caution: You might permanently damage your system by cleaning it with a vacuum cleaner. Use a feather duster or a very soft loose cloth instead.

Modifying or tampering with the speaker system’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the warranty. If the system is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
