3.5 Watt Amplified Speaker System
(400-1361)                 Power                      Faxback Doc. # 46016

Power Sources

You can power each amplified speaker with 4C batteries (such as RadioShack
Cat. No. 23-551), standard AC power, or vehicle battery power.

Using Batteries

Follow these steps to install batteries:

1. Loosen the battery compartment cover's screw and lift off the cover.

2. Install the batteries in each amplified speaker indicated by the
   polarity symbols (+ and -) as marked inside the compartment.

3. Replace the cover and install the batteries in the other speaker.

Using AC Power

You can power the speaker system from a standard AC outlet.  Using AC
power requires an adapter (not supplied), such as RadioShack Cat. No.
273-1652.

CAUTION:  You must use an adapter that supplies 12 volts and delivers at
          least 500 milliamps.  Its center tip must be set to positive,
          and its plug must correctly fit the DC 12V jack.  The 
          recommended adapter meets these specifications.  Using an 
          adapter that does not meet these specifications could seriously 
          damage the system or the adapter.

Follow these steps to use AC power:

1. Insert the adapter's barrel plug into the system's DC 12V Jack.

2. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

   Note:  Connecting a power adapter automatically disconnects the
          internal batteries.

Using DC Power

You can power your speaker system from your vehicle's battery through the
vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.  Using DC power requires a power cord
(not supplied), such as RadioShack Cat. No. 270-1528.

Follow these steps to use DC power:

1. Insert the power cord's barrel plug into the speaker system's
   DC 12V jack.

2. Plug the other end of the power cord into the vehicle's
   cigarette-lighter socket.

CAUTIONS:  Your vehicle must have a 12V DC, negative ground electrical
           system.

           You must use a power cord that delivers at least 500 milliamps.
           Its center tip must be set to positive, and its plug must
           correctly fit the system's DC12 V jack.  The recommended cord
           meets these specifications.  Using a cord that does not meet
           these specifications could seriously damage the speaker system,
           the cord, or your vehicle.

           Disconnect the power cord from the cigarette-lighter socket
           before you disconnect it from the speaker system.  Otherwise,
           the unconnected plug might damage the power cord or the
           vehicle's electrical system.

           When you are not using the speaker system, disconnect the power
           cord from the cigarette-lighter socket.
