MPS-45 10-Watt PA Amp/Speaker
(320-2045)                 Preparation                Faxback Doc. # 49076

CAUTIONS:  To prevent electrical shock, any AC-powered equipment that you
           connect to the amplifier should be connected to a 3-prong
           (grounded) AC outlet.

           To avoid damaging the MPS-45's speaker, connect the sound
           source to the amplifier before you connect the amplifier to
           power.

           Be sure to turn VOLUME to 0 before you connect the amplifier to
           power, or before you connect or disconnect a guitar's cable to
           the amplifier.

CONNECTING A SOUND SOURCE

Use a phono cable with a 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) plug (such as RadioShack Cat.
No. 42-2473 or 42-978, not supplied) to connect an electric guitar,
keyboard, or microphone to the INPUT jack on the MPS-45.

Note:  For a smaller keyboard, you might need a 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch plug
       adapter (Cat. No. 274-367).

CONNECTING HEADPHONES

To listen privately or to monitor the sound source, connect low-impedance
headphones (not supplied) with a 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) plug to the PHONES
jack on the amplifier.  Your local RadioShack store sells a wide selection
of headphones.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.

  Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.  After
  you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

  Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.  Extended high-volume
  listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

  Once you set the volume, do not increase it.  Over time, your ears adapt
  to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort
  might still damage your hearing.

CONNECTING TO POWER

Make sure VOLUME is set to 0, then connect the AC power cord to a standard
AC outlet.
