2.1 Using External Speakers
The FIRESTORM is equipped with two External Speaker Jacks which allows
you to connect up to two additional speakers. The internal speakers perform
admirably; however, you may encounter situations that require higher volume
levels. By connecting a larger and more efficient external speaker(s) to the
FIRESTORM, the volume level can be increased significantly.
2.2 Connecting External Speakers
The external speaker jacks on your FIRESTORM accept standard 3.5mm
plugs. When choosing an external speaker it is recommended to use one with
an impedance rating of 8-ohms.
NOTE: Be sure the FIRESTORM is turned OFF before connecting an
external speaker.
To connect an external speaker, plug the connector of the external speaker into
one of the external speaker jacks. You will notice that each external speaker
jack corresponds with one of the internal speakers. For example, internal front
speaker and front external speaker are linked together. If you wish to have
ONLY the external speaker(s) produce sound, you must disable the internal
speakers as the internal speakers are not disabled automatically.
2.3 Disabling Internal Speakers
Move the speaker slide switch to the “OFF” position for the desired speaker you
wish to disable (front or back). The following image shows that each internal
speaker has an independent on/off switch.
To re-enable the speaker later, simply place the slide switch back to the “ON”
position. By disabling the internal speaker(s) when using an external
speaker(s), battery life will be extended longer than having all of the speakers
operating at once.
3.0 BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Your FIRESTORM operates on 8 “AA” batteries. For optimal performance and
run times, we recommend high capacity 2000 mAh or greater NiMH (Nickel
Metal Hydride) rechargeable cells rather than alkaline types.
