AC POWER
You can also power the speakers from a standard AC outlet

You must use a Class 2 power source that
supplies 6V DC and delivers at least 400 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and its
plug must fit the speaker'sDC 6V jack. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifications could damage
the speakers or the adapter.
Slide POWER to OFF, then connect the AC adapter’s barrel
plug to the portable speaker’s DC 6V jack. Plug the other
end of the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC outlet. Ô
ÔBATTERY NOTES Ô

promptly and properly.
• Do not burn or bury batteries.

required size and
recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new
batteries, different types of
batteries (standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable), or rechargeable

them looking new. 
SERVICE AND REPAIR
If your speakers are not performing as they should, take
them to your local RadioShack store for assistance. To
locate your nearest RadioShack, use the store locator
feature on RadioShack's website (www.radioshack.com), or
call 1-800-The Shack (843-7422) and follow the menu
options. Modifying or tampering with the speaker's internal
components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate
their warranty.

back while pulling, slightly pull
the cable to release it for
retraction. Then pull the cable to
the desired length to release it.
• If the cable stops during
retraction, pull it again and hold
it until it completely retracts
back into the cabinet.

You might permanently damage
your speakers by cleaning them
with a vacuum cleaner. Use a
feather duster or a soft loose cloth
