product. Any mounting of the product should fol­low the manufacturer’s instructions, and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.

8A. An appliance and cart combination should be

moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force
and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.

9. VENTIL ATION
Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the
back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to
ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating. These openings
must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the product

on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This
product should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat source. This product should not
be placed in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided or the manufacturer's instructions have
been adhered to.

10. POWER SOURCES
This product should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company. For products
intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZ ATION
This product is equipped with a polarized alter­nating-current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety fea­ture. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION
Power-supply cords should be routed so that
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying par­ticular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the appliance.

or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.

14. POWER LINES
An outside antenna system should not be locat­ed in the vicinity of overhead power lines or
other electric light or power circuits, or where it
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching
such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.

15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.

as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section 810
of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis­charge product, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge product, connec­tion to grounding electrodes and requirements
for grounding electrodes.

18. SERVICING
Do not attempt to service this product yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.

fallen into the product.

c. If the product has been exposed to rain or

water.

d. If the product does not operate normally by

following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the

Power Sources
This portable audio system is designed to operate on
DC 12V (use 120V AC/DC 12V adaptor)

AC Operation

Please note that this unit is equipped with a polarized AC plug which has one blade wider than the
other. This is a safety feature to reduce the likelihood of electric shock. This polarized AC plug will
only fit in a polarized AC outlet. If you find that you cannot insert this plug into your outlet, you may
have an obsolete non-polarized outlet. Please do not try to defeat this safety feature by using a
non-polarized adapter or by filing the wider blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug does not
fit into your outlet, you should con

tact a qualified licensed electrician

to replace your obsolete outlet.

PREPARATION FOR USE

AC Plug

AC Outlet

Unwind the AC cord of the power adaptor and extend it to its full length. Insert the small end of the
DC socket into the DC jack on the rear of the unit. Insert the other end of the AC cord into any
convenient 120V AC, 60Hz household outlet.
