IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce risk of electric shock, never open the unit. There are no user serviceable parts, refer service to an authorized Rockville service center.
Do not expose this unit to any kind of moisture.
Make sure the unit is placed on a level and stable surface.

**How to Avoid Irritating Feedback

**

The placement of your microphone is critical in avoiding feedback through your Rock Party 6 speaker. Never set up your microphone in front of the speaker. Always set up your microphone behind the speaker. When approaching the speaker to make any adjustments, we recommend approaching the speaker from the rear and not walking directly toward the front of the speaker.

Functions

¼” Unbalanced microphone inputs. Please note: We recommend using professional unbalanced dynamic mics as they are least likely to be affected by interference. Low cost, high impedance mics can be used, however the level of background noise is higher since an unbalanced circuit is far more susceptible to interference.

No power

Make sure the unit is plugged in and the power switch is in the ON position.
Check that the power cable is plugged in tightly to the unit.
Make sure the battery is fully charged (see page 5 for details).

No sound/ distorted sound|

Check that all input cables are plugged in correctly.
