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.

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 R speaker to  
OFF.  
OFF  
3. Turn on your audio source.

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.
