Power Sources

For portable use, you can power the Speaker System with internal batteries  
Using an optional adapter, you can also power them from a standard AC 
outlet or an optional DC adapter and your vehicle's cigarette lighter 
socket.

Using Batteries

Your Speaker System requires four C batteries (not supplied).  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, different types of batteries
           (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable) or rechargeable batteries
           of different capacities.

Follow these steps to insert the batteries.

1.  To make sure the Speaker System is off, push POWER.

2.  Slide the battery compartment cover, located on the back of the
    speaker marked RIGHT, in the direction of the arrow and remove it.

3.  Place four C batteries into the battery compartment and on top of the
    attached ribbon, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked
    inside.

4.  Replace the cover.

If the Speaker System's sound weakens or distorts or the POWER indicator 
dims during use with batteries, replace the batteries.

WARNING:  Always dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.  Do not
          bury or burn them.

CAUTION:  If you do not plan to use the Speaker System for a week or more,
          or if you plan to use it with AC power, remove the batteries
          from the RIGHT speaker.  Batteries can leak chemicals that can
          destroy electronic parts.

Using AC Power

You can power your Speaker System from a standard AC outlet using a 9 volt 
AC adapter (not supplied).

CAUTION:  You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 9 volts DC and
          delivers at least 800 mA. Its center must be set to positive and
          its plug must fit the Speaker System's 800 mA DC 9V jack.  Using
          an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage
          the Speaker System or the adapter.

Note:  Always plug the AC adapter into the Speaker System before you plug
       it into the AC outlet.  Always unplug the AC adapter from the AC
       outlet before you unplug it from the Speaker System.

1.  To make sure the Speaker System is off, push POWER.

2.  Insert the AC adapter's barrel plug into the 800 mA DC 9V jack on the
    rear of the RIGHT speaker.

3.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Using DC Power

You can power the Speaker System from your vehicle's cigarette-lighter 
socket using a DC adapter.

CAUTION: You must use a power source that supplies 9 volts DC and delivers
         at least 800 mA.  Its center tip must be set to positive and its
         plug must fit the Speaker System's 800 mA DC 9V jack.  Using an
         adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the
         Speaker System or the adapter.

Note:  Always plug the DC adapter into the Speaker System before you plug
       it into the cigarette-lighter socket.  Always unplug the DC adapter
       from the cigarette-lighter socket before you unplug it from the
       Speaker System.

1.  To make sure the Speaker System is off, push POWER.

2.  Connect the adapter's barrel plug to the adapter's cord, matching TIP
    to positive (+).

3.  Set the adapter's voltage switch to 9 volts.

4.  Insert the adapter's barrel plug into the 800 mA DC 9V jack on the
    rear of the RIGHT speaker.

5.  Plug the other end of the adapter into the vehicle's cigarette-lighter
    socket.

Connection

You can connect the Speaker System to any audio source that has a 1/8-inch 
headphone or line-out jack.

Notes:  For the best stereo effect, position the speakers apart from each
        other and facing the center of the listening area.

        Connecting the Speaker System to a headphone jack usually
        disconnects any other speaker(s) connected to the audio source.

        If the Speaker System is connected to a line-out jack, the audio
        source's volume control has no effect on the Speaker System's
        volume.

Push POWER to turn the Speaker System off.  Make sure the audio source's 
power is also turned off.

Plug the Speaker System's 1/8-inch plug into the audio source's headphone 
or line-out jack.
