PREPARATION
MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS
You can either mount the speakers on the sides of your
computer monitor or place them on a desktop.
Follow these steps to mount the speakers on a monitor.
Notes:
• Do not remove the adhesive coverings on the mount-
ing brackets until Step 4.
• You will need a clean, dry paper towel to mount the
speakers on a monitor.
1. Insert the supplied mounting brackets into the slots
on the backs of the speakers.
2. Select a mounting location for the speakers on the
monitor.
3. Open the supplied alcohol pad and clean the monitor
surfaces where the brackets will be mounted. Dry the
monitor with a clean, dry paper towel.
4. Remove the adhesive coverings on the mounting
brackets. Carefully position the exposed adhesive
pads so the brackets mount squarely on the monitor.
Push the brackets firmly against the monitor for 10
seconds.

To power the system using batteries, open the Rspeak-
er’s back cover and insert the batteries into the compart-
ment as indicated by the polarity markings (+ and –)
inside. Replace the cover and set the slide switch on the
Rspeaker to the battery symbol.
Caution: Do not mix old and new batteries, different
types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
To power the system using an AC adapter, connect the
adapter’s 2.1 mm inner diameter/5.5 mm outer diameter
plug to the Rspeaker’s 6VDC jack, and plug the adapter
into a standard AC outlet. Set the slide switch on the R
speaker to the adapter symbol.
Caution: You must use an AC adapter that supplies 6
volts and delivers at least 100 milliamps. Its center tip
must be set to negative, and its plug must correctly fit the
Rspeaker’s 6VDC jack. The recommended adapter
meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does
not meet these specifications could seriously damage the
speakers or the adapter.

OPERATION
Your AMX 2 speakers have two operational modes: am-
plified (boost) or unamplified (direct). Use the boost mode
with low-powered sound boards and other audio sources
that have just enough power to drive a set of headphones
or earphones. Use the direct mode when you connect the
speakers to an audio source that has sufficient power to
drive the speakers without amplification.
If the sound level is too low when using the unamplified
mode with your audio source, use the the amplified
mode.
USING THE UNAMPLIFIED (DIRECT)
MODE
1. Turn your computer board or audio source’s volume
all the way down.
2. Move the slide switch on the back of the Rspeaker to
OFF.
3. Turn on your audio source.
4. Adjust the volume on your audio source to a comfort-
able listening level.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your AMX 2 Magnetically Shielded Stereo Speaker Sys-
tem is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.
The following suggestions will help you care for the sys-
tem so you can enjoy it for years.
• Handle the speakers gently and carefully. Dropping
them can damage them and cause them to work
improperly.
• Keep the speakers dry. If they get wet, wipe them dry
immediately. Liquids contain minerals that can cor-
rode electronic circuits.
• Wipe the speakers occasionally with a damp cloth to
keep them looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals,
cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
speakers.
• Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size
and type. Always remove old or weak batteries. They
can leak chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.
Modifying or tampering with the speaker system’s inter-
nal components can cause a malfunction and might inval-
idate the warranty. If the speakers are not performing as
they should, take them to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.
