CONNECTING POWER

Installing Batteries

You can power your system with six

Dbatteries (not supplied). For the best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-550.

Follow these steps to install the bat- teries.

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

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

Caution: To avoid damage from leaking batteries, remove the batter- ies if you do not plan to use the sys- tem 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 sup- plied AC adapter.

Cautions:

2.Install the batteries in the com- partment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked next to the compart- ment.

Note: Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Always remove old or weak bat- teries. Batteries can leak chemi- cals that can destroy electronic circuits.

3. Replace the cover.

The adapter must supply 9 volts, its center tip must be set to neg- ative, it must deliver 500 milli- amps, 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.
