CONNECTIONS  
3. Install the batteries as indicated  
by the polarity symbols (+ and –)  
marked inside the compartment.  
CONNECTING POWER  
You can power your karaoke with:  
• 6 C batteries  
• AC power  
Installing Batteries  
You can power the karaoke with 6 C  
batteries (not supplied). For the best  
performance, we recommend alkaline  
batteries, such as RadioShack Cat.  
No. 23-551.  
Caution:  
Always use fresh batter-  
ies of the required size and type.  
4. Replace the cover.  
Follow these steps to install the batter-  
ies.  
If you are operating the karaoke using  
battery power and the power indicator  
dims, replace the batteries.  
1. Set POWER to OFF.  
2. Press down on the battery com-  
partment cover and slide it in the  
direction of the arrows to remove  
it.  
Cautions:  
To avoid damage from leaking  
batteries, remove the batteries if  
you do not plan to use them in the  
karaoke for a week or more.  
• Always dispose of old batteries  
promptly and properly.

Using AC Power  
CONNECTING TO AN  
AUDIO SOURCE  
To power your karaoke from a stan-  
dard AC outlet, you need an AC  
adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1652.  
Connect an audio source (such as a  
CD player or stereo system) to the  
karaoke so you can sing along with  
the sound from that source.  
Caution: You must use an AC adapt-  
er that supplies 12 volts DC power  
and at least 200 milliamps. Its center  
tip must be set to positive and it must  
have a plug that properly fits the DC  
12V jack. The recommended adapter  
meets these specifications. Using an  
adapter that does not meet these  
specifications could damage your  
karaoke or the AC adapter.  
Connect the source’s stereo audio  
output jacks to the karaoke’s AUX IN L  
and R jacks using the supplied cable.  
Use the white plug for the left connec-  
tion and the red plug for the right con-  
nection at both ends of the cable.  
Note: Connecting an AC adapter dis-  
connects internal batteries.  
Note: If your audio source does not  
have AUX OUT jacks, but has only a  
headphone output jack (such as is of-  
ten found on a portable tape player or  
CD player), use a shielded Y-adapter  
cord with phono plugs on one end  
(such as Cat. No. 42-2475). Connect  
the single-plug end to the audio  
source’s headphone jack, and con-  
nect the other end’s two phono plugs  
to the karaoke’s AUX IN L and R jacks.  
1. Insert the proper-sized barrel plug  
into the adapter’s cord so it reads  
TIP+ (positive).  
2. Insert the AC adapter’s barrel plug  
into the karaoke’s DC 12V jack.  
3. Plug the AC adapter into a stan-  
dard AC outlet.

phones for duets or lead and back-  
ground vocals, you need an external  
AUX OUT L  
receiver to the karaoke’s  
R

Use the white plug for the left connec-  
tion and the red plug for the right con-  
nection at both ends of the cable.

your voice with the sound from the  
keyboard.  
If you use another micro-  
phone, be sure to turn it on.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your Karaoke Mate is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The follow-  
ing suggestions will help you care for your karaoke so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the karaoke dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids  
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Use and store the karaoke only in normal temperature environments.  
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and  
distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the karaoke away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-  
ture wear of parts.  
Handle the karaoke gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-  
cuit boards and cases and can cause the karaoke to work improperly.  
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Old batteries  
can leak chemicals that damage your karaoke’s electronic parts.  
Wipe the karaoke with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking  
CLEANER  
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-  
gents to clean the karaoke.  
Modifying or tampering with the karaoke’s internal components can cause a mal-  
function and might invalidate your karaoke’s warranty and void your FCC authoriza-  
tion to operate it. If your karaoke is not performing as it should, take it to your local  
RadioShack store for assistance.

THE FCC WANTS YOU  
TO KNOW  
Your karaoke might cause TV or radio  
interference even when it is operating  
properly. To determine whether your  
karaoke is causing the interference,  
turn off the karaoke. If the interference  
goes away, your karaoke is causing  
the interference. Try to eliminate the  
interference by:  
• Moving your karaoke away from  
the receiver  
• Using outlets on different electri-  
cal circuits for the karaoke and the  
TV or radio  
• Contacting your local RadioShack  
store for help  
If you cannot eliminate the interfer-  
ence, the FCC requires that you stop  
using your karaoke.
