re: KX1 amplified external speaker $5

[Weymouth Walker-2]

Got 2 of these units just a few minutes ago ... they work well, but
the ON/OFF switch is small and on the bottom of the unit, and
I will almost certainly forget to turn it off after using ... and drain
the 2 x AAA batteries completely ... anybody got any ideas (serious
replies only preferred <g>) to show that the power switch is on?

Photos of this amplified stereo speaker attached to my KX1 are here ...

What I do is to put a piece of paper in "series" with one of the
batteries when packing and remove it to use it.  The switches are too
easy to turn on accidently.
