Install 6 “C” batteries in the main compartment as shown. Place the battery ribbon into the compartment before inserting the batteries to make removing the batteries easier.
Replacing The Batteries When the sound of the system becomes weak or distorted during battery operation it is probably time to replace the 6 “C” batteries. The life expectancy of the batteries depends on a number of factors including the temperature and the volume level at which the system is operated. If the system is always played at or near the maximum level, the batteries will become exhausted faster than if the system is played at low to medium volume levels.

Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the system and such damage is not covered by your warranty. AC Outlet AC Plug NOTE: The system has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. The plug will only fit into matching polarized AC outlets.
