4THE OUTLAW’S GUIDE TO THE SMS-1
our online forum, and as a tool to aid our customers we have crafted this
convenient guide. It is composed of a series of entries from various con-
tributors, each trying to most eectively address one aspect of the SMS-1.
If you purchased your SMS-1 from Outlaw Audio and can’t nd answers
to your questions in our guide or the ocial manual, that’s OK– you can
contact us at Outlaw Audio for help with your questions via e-mail at
customerservice@outlawaudio.com or via phone at 866-OUTLAWS (688-
5297). You can even go online to our Outlaw Saloon forum and compare
notes with other outlaws like yourself – click on “Hideout” on our website
(www.outlawaudio.com) and select the Saloon near the top of the page.
We would also like to recommend that you keep the packaging that the
SMS-1 came in. It has been designed to keep the SMS-1 and its accesso-
ries safe in transit, and is the desired way not only to return the unit to us if
it needs service but also to transport the unit if you nd yourself pickin’ up
stakes and moving. If it is a bit too bulky, you can break the boxes down
at and store the foam blocks in a plastic bag.

One of our Outlaw
contributors is particularly skilled
with bullet points (sort of a differ-
ent kind of gunslinger), so we let him
provide us with a handy
feature list.
