USING HEADPHONES
To listen privately, connect low-impedance headphones ( available at your local RadioShack store) with a
(6.35 mm) phone plug to the
jack on the back of the MPS-50.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.
• Set the volume to the low est setting
before you begin liste ning. A fter you
begin listening, adjus t the volume to
a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extr emely high volume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volum e level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your
hearing.

CARE
To enjoy your MPS-50 for a long time:
• Keep the MPS-50 dry. If it gets wet,
wipe it dry immediately.
• Use and store the MPS-50 only in
normal temperature environ men ts .
• Handle the MPS-50 gently and carefully. Don’t drop it.
• Keep the MPS-50 away from dust
and dirt.
• Wipe the MPS-50 with a damp c loth
occasionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the MPS50’s internal components can cause a
malfunction and invalidate its warranty.
If your MPS-50 is not performing as it
should, take it to you r local RadioShac k
store for assistance.
REPLACING THE FUSES
Importa n t N o tes:
• Let the MPS-50 cool do wn and see
if it starts again before you ass ume
a fuse needs to be replaced.
• Because the intern al supply fuse is
located on the printed circuit board,
we strongly recommend that you
take it to your local RadioShack
store rather than attempting to
replace it yourself.
Caution:
other than those specified here. Doing
so might damage your MPS-50.
Do not use a fuse with ratings
If the MPS-50 does not operate, the
power fuse under the A C socket on the
rear panel or the internal suppy fuses on
the printed circuit board might have
blown. If this happens, replace the fuses
with new ones of the same type, available at your local RadioShack store.
Specifications are typical; individual units might vary. Specifications are subject to
change and improvement without notice.
