• Plug one end of the cables into the speakers.
• Plug the other end of the cables into the left/right channels on
the speaker hub.
Not enough speaker cable? You can use longer speaker cables, but be
sure to get at least 24 gauge cables. Ask a salesperson for help if you
aren't sure what this means. Remember — if the cable is too long, you
won’t get as much power to the speakers.
Use alkaline batteries for the best performance. An optional
AC adapter is available from www.virgin.com/electronics.
A. Slide the latch to the left and pop the battery cover off.
B. Fill it with batteries.
C. Slide the tabs into the left side of the battery cavity and snap the
door into place.
Huh, right speaker hookup on the left? We know, it looks backwards, but
stand in front of the speaker hub and you’ll get the picture. And about that
headphone jack... Indulging your eccentric musical tastes late at night?
No need to disconnect your boomtube, just hook up a set of headphones
and keep the music to yourself. Your flatmates will appreciate it.
