We are craftspeople. We are musicians. We are KitSound

™

And we all commit ourselves to achieving one shared goal: Bringing

people closer to their music. By truly understanding music we stay true

to its craft. Pure, rich, incredible sound. We’ll settle for nothing less.

4 5

At KS we believe your music deserves to be showcased on great

quality products that don’t cost the earth. We might not all share the

same taste in music (the ferocious disputes on music forums prove

that), but whether it’s Irish folk, death metal or any number of obscure

genres which seem to be multiplying by the minute, the artists

responsible for connecting with you through their craft have bared

their souls to do so. And we think that’s worth celebrating.

Quick start

Installing the AC adapter

• Locate the DC Input Jack (9)

• Insert the AC adapter cable into this jack

• Now plug the AC adapter into your mains socket

Installing the backup batteries for clock and alarm settings

In order to offer consistent clock settings and alarm functions, the unit uses a backup battery system. This means

that in the event of a power failure, all the settings of unit will remain saved. The display will NOT remain lit, but the

time and date settings will be temporarily maintained. The alarm, will not sound when the unit is powered only by the

backup batteries.

– Make sure the connection between the DC adapter and the unit is secure. This is important, because during battery

replacement it is possible for all settings to be lost if the clock and alarm have already been set

– Locate the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit and open

– Insert two “AAA” batteries, following the correct polarity (+/-) drawings inside the battery compartment.

For longer battery life, alkaline batteries are suggested. Please note that new and used batteries should

not be mixed. Likewise, alkaline, standard (carbon- zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries should

not be used together
