The remote control Battery installation Listening caution R6, AA, UM-3 1 EST. 1924 We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level: • Start your volume control at a low setting.
Connections • Plug the AC power supply cord into a household AC outlet only after all other connections have been made. • To prepare the AM loop antenna wire and speaker cords, twist the vinyl cover tip and pull off.
