2. Connect to Power: Plug the AC power adapter into the designated power input port on one of the satellite speakers. Then, plug the other end of the power adapter into a standard wall electrical outlet.
3. Connect to Audio Source: Locate the 3.5mm audio input jack on the back of the primary satellite speaker. Connect one end of the supplied audio input cable to this jack.

Operating Instructions

Once the speakers are set up, follow these steps for operation:

• Power On/Off: Locate the integrated power control (often combined with the volume knob) on the primary satellite speaker. Turn the knob clockwise to power on the speakers. Turn it counter-clockwise until it clicks to power off.
• Adjusting Volume: Rotate the master volume control knob on the primary satellite speaker to increase or decrease the sound level. It is recommended to start with a low volume and gradually increase it to a comfortable listening level. Also, ensure the volume on your audio source device (PC, MP3 player, etc.) is adequately adjusted.
• Using the Headphone Jack: For private listening, plug your headphones into the headphone jack located on the primary satellite speaker. Plugging in headphones will automatically mute the speaker output. Unplugging the headphones will restore sound through the speakers.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Altec Lansing 120 speaker system, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the speakers. Avoid using liquid cleaners, aerosols, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
• Ventilation: Ensure that the speakers are placed in an area with adequate ventilation. Do not block any vents or openings on the speaker enclosures.
• Storage: If storing the speakers for an extended period, disconnect them from power and audio sources. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Care: Avoid sharply bending or crimping the power and audio cables. Regularly check cables for any signs of wear or damage.
