20-Watt AC/Mobile PA Amplifier

If you have problems with the amplifier, use the following checklist to
find the problem:

*  Check all the connections.

*  Be sure none of the speaker wiring, microphone cables, or other
   connecting cables are defective.

*  Be sure you have provided adequate ventilation.

*  Be sure you correctly calculated the total speaker impedance.

*  Be sure there is no defective microphone connected.

*  Be sure the speaker wire you use is a large enough gauge:  18 gauge
   for lengths of wire up to 25 feet and 16-gauge for lengths over 25
   feet.

For the best results, we recommend you use the shortest length of wire
possible.

*  If you have feedback problems, re-position the microphones and
   speakers, and adjust TONE if necessary.

*  If the amplifier does not work at all, check the amplifier's fuse (on
   the back panel) or the fuse in the supplied DC power cable (If you
   power the amplifier with a 12-volt DC power source).  If either fuse
   is blown, replace it with the appropriate supplied spare fuse (2-amp,
   250-volt) or an identical fuse.

If none of the above solves the problem, take the amplifier to your local
Radio Shack store.  Our personnel will assist you and arrange for service,
if needed.
