CONNECTIONS
CONNECTING POWER
You can power your system using ei-
ther AC power or six D batteries (not
supplied).
Using AC Power
The supplied power cord stored inside
the battery compartment lets you power
the system from a standard AC outlet.
1. While pressing down both tabs on
the battery compartment cover in
the direction of the arrow, pull the
cover down to remove it.
2. Remove the power cord from its
storage area in the battery com-
partment, then replace the cover.
3. Plug the small end of the power
cord into the
AC
jack on the back
of the system. Then plug the cord
into a standard AC outlet.
Cautions:
• To prevent electric shock, one
blade on the power cord’s plug is
wider than the other and the plug
fits only one way. If you cannot
easily insert the plug, turn it over
and try again. Do not force it.
• Always plug the power cord into
the system before you plug it into
a standard AC outlet. Always
unplug it from the AC outlet before
you unplug it from the system.
Installing Batteries
You can power the system with six D
batteries (not supplied). For the best
performance, we recommend alkaline
batteries, such as Cat. No. 23-550.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and type.
• Never leave dead or weak batter-
ies in the system.
• If you do not plan to use the sys-
tem for several days, or if you plan
to power the system using only
AC power, remove the batteries.
• Dispose of batteries promptly and
properly; do not bury or burn
them.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. While pressing down both tabs on
the battery compartment cover in
the direction of the arrow, pull the
cover down to remove it.
