OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 2-Way Portable
Amplified Speaker System. Your speakers are specially
designed for use with computer multimedia systems. The
speakers’ magnetic shielding allows you to place them next
to your PC’s monitor without causing picture distortion.
The speakers also transform your portable CD, MP3,
personal cassette player, or radio into a complete music
system. The speakers are compatible with any audio source
that has a 1/8-inch stereo headphone or line-out jack.

You can power your speakers from internal batteries,
standard AC power, or vehicle battery power.

You can power the speakers with eight C batteries (four in
each speaker, not supplied). For the best performance and
longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

To power the speakers from an AC outlet or your vehicle’s
battery power, you need an AC or DC adapter and a size M
Adaptaplug(neither supplied, available at your local
RadioShack store).
1. If necessary, set the adapter’s voltage switch to 12V. .
2. Attach the Adaptaplug to the adapter’s cord with the tip
set to positive (+).
3. Insert the barrel plug into the speakers’ DC 12V 600mA
jack. This disconnects the internal batteries.
4. Plug the other end of the adapter into the power
source.

• Always dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly.
• You must use a (Class
2 for AC) power source
that supplies 12V DC
and delivers at least 600mA. Its
center tip must be set to
positive and its plug must fit the
speakers's DC 12V 600mA
jack. Using an adapter that
does not meet these
specifications coulddamage the
speakers or the adapter.
• Always connect the adapter to
the speakers before you plug it
into the power source, and
unplug the adapter from the
power source before you
unplug it from the speakers.
• To protect your hearing, set
VOLUME to its minimum level.
