FCC Information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, includ­ing interference that may cause undesired operation.
In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or modifi­cations not expressly approved by Thomson Inc. could
void the user’s authority to operate this product.
This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF)
energy, and if not installed and used properly, this equip­ment may cause interference to radio and television
reception.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or tel­evision reception (which you can determine by unplug­ging the unit), try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

• Re-orient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna
for the radio or television that is "receiving" the interfer­ence).

• Move the unit away from the equipment that is
receiving interference.

• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the
unit and the equipment receiving interference are on
different branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference,
please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/tele­vision technician for additional suggestions. Also, the
Federal Communications Commission has prepared a
helpful booklet, "How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV
Interference Problems." This booklet is available from
the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC

20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4
when ordering copies.

Subchapter J. Applicable at the date of manufacture.

For Your Safety

The AC power plug is polarized
(one blade is wider than the
other) and only fits into AC power
outlets one way. If the plug won’t
go into the outlet completely,
turn the plug over and try to
insert it the other way. If it still
won’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the
outlet, or use a different one. Do not attempt to bypass
this safety feature.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH
WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

Using the Antenna

Before you use your audio system, you’ll want to
make sure the FM antenna is positioned properly.
Uncoil it, making sure it is fully extended (you may
even want to tape it to the wall behind the unit, if
possible. The higher, the better.)
For better AM reception, rotate the unit.

Connecting the Speakers

Each speaker has a black (negative) and a red
(positive) jack. When connecting the speakers, match
the red wires to the red jacks and the black wires to
the black jacks.
