10-Watt Powerhorn with Handheld Microphone

32-2038A	OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.

Your RadioShack 10-Watt Powerhorn combines a high-efficiency trumpet horn speaker, a powerful compact solid-state amplifier, and a microphone with adjustable volume to provide crystal-clear sound. The Powerhorn is ideal for sporting events, tour groups, campouts, or anywhere you want to be heard.

Its features include:

Rustproof, Water-Resistant Plastic Housing — makes it ideal for use in all weather conditions.

Lightweight Design with Shoulder Strap — make it easy to carry.

Detachable Microphone — so you don’t have to hold the entire Powerhorn’s weight in your hand.

Microphone with Volume Control — lets you adjust the sound to the desired level and save battery power.

Feedback Control — lets you adjust the amplifier’s volume to eliminate feedback problems indoors.

Lock Bar — lets you set the Powerhorn so you can speak for a long time without having to hold down the TALK bar.

Built-In Siren — provides a loud alarm sound.

PREPARATION

Installing Batteries

Your Powerhorn requires eight C batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

Cautions:

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

Do not mix old and new batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable) or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

Follow these steps to install the batteries.

Note: Be sure SIREN on the left side of the Powerhorn’s handle is set to OFF to prevent the alarm from sounding.

1.Lift the battery compartment cover’s latch and open the cover.

2.Lift out the two battery containers. Put four batteries in each container, as indicated by the diagrams on the containers.

3.Replace the battery containers in the compartment with the markings on the containers facing away from the handle.

4.Close the cover and secure the latch.

When the Powerhorn’s sound weakens, replace the batteries.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the Powerhorn for several days, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

OPERATION

Using the Powerhorn with the Microphone Mounted

Follow these steps to mount the microphone on the rear of the Powerhorn and operate the Powerhorn with just one hand.

SIREN ON/OFF

Talk Button

1.Set SIREN on the left side of the handle to OFF.

2.Align the slot in the microphone’s back with the mounting bracket on the battery compartment cover and slide the microphone onto the bracket.

3.Ensure the TALK bar on the left side of the microphone is not set to LOCK, since this disables the talk button on the Powerhorn’s handle.

4.Firmly hold the Powerhorn and place the microphone about 5 inches from your mouth.

5.Press the talk button on the Powerhorn’s handle and speak into the microphone. Release the talk button when you finish speaking.

6.Rotate VOLUME on the right side of the microphone toward 10 to increase, or toward 0 to decrease, the Powerhorn’s volume.

Note: If feedback occurs, decrease the volume or adjust the FEEDBACK CONTROL (see “Using the Feedback Control” on Page 2).
