CONNECTING POWER
Installing Batteries
You can power your system with six
D batteries (not supplied). For the
best performance, we recommend
alkaline batteries, such as Radio
Shack Cat. No. 23-550.
Follow these steps to install the bat-
teries.
1. Press the battery compartment
cover’s tab and lift off the cover.
2. Install the batteries in the com-
partment as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked next to the compart-
ment.
Note: Use only fresh batteries of
the required size and type.
Always remove old or weak bat-
teries. Batteries can leak chemi-
cals that can destroy electronic
circuits.
3. Replace the cover.
If you are operating the system using
battery power and the sound be-
comes weak or distorted, replace the
batteries.
Caution: To avoid damage from
leaking batteries, remove the batter-
ies if you do not plan to use the sys-
tem for a week or more. Also, do not
leave batteries in the system if you
plan to use AC or DC power for an
extended period of time.
Using AC Power
You can power the system from a
standard AC outlet using the sup-
plied AC adapter.
Cautions:
• The adapter must supply 9 volts,
its center tip must be set to neg-
ative, it must deliver 500 milli-
amps, and its plug must
correctly fit the
DC 9V INPUT
jack. The supplied adapter
meets these requirements.
Using any other adapter could
damage the system or the
adapter.
• Always unplug the adapter from
the AC outlet before unplugging
it from the system.
1. Remove the supplied AC
adapter from the microphone/
adapter compartment on the
back of the system.
