Power Sources

This portable audio system is designed to operate on either 120V AC 60Hz house current or by using eight
(8) ‘C’ batteries, not included. Attempting to operate this unit from any other power source may cause
damage to the unit, which is not covered by your warranty.

AC Operation

the AC cord into the AC socket on the rear of the unit. Insert the other
end of the AC cord into any convenient 120V 60Hz household outlet.

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 contact a qualified licensed electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet.
