LOCATION OF CONTROLS  
1.) For best performance and longer operating time, we recommend the use of good quality  
battery.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
This system is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the product from moving when  
you operate the controls. These ‘feet’ are made from non-migrating rubber material specially  
formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil  
based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber ‘feet’ to  
soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture.  
To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-  
adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere,  
and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’ before you place the product on fine  
wooden furniture.  
When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and manufactured to ensure your  
personal safety. However, improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards.  
Please read all safety and operating instructions carefully before installation and use, and keep

musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement  
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic IndustriesAssociation's Consumer
