PREPARATION

INSTALLING BATTERIES

You need two AA batteries to power the SCP-92. For

the best performance, we recommend alkaline bat-

teries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552. Follow

these steps to install batteries.

1. Push the battery compartment cover in the direc-

tion of the arrow marked on the cover and lift it

up.

2. Install the batteries as indicated by the polarity

symbols (+ and –) marked next to the compart-

ment, with the last battery over the ribbon.

14-1235.fm Page 5 Friday, July 2, 1999 11:13 AM

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size

and type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different

types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or

rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of

different capacities.

3. Close the cover.

If the sound gets distorted or weak, replace the bat-

teries.

Cautions:

• If you do not plan to use the SCP-92 for a week

or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak

chemicals that corrode or damage electronic cir-

cuits.

• Always dispose of old batteries promptly and

properly.

CONNECTING HEADPHONES/

SPEAKERS

Connect the supplied stereo headphones or ampli-

fied speakers (not supplied) with a 1/8-inch stereo

plug to the jack for stereo sound.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when

you use headphones.

14-1235.fm Page 7 Friday, July 2, 1999 11:13 AM

• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you

begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust

the volume to a comfortable level.

• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.

Extended high-volume listening can lead to per-

manent hearing loss.

• Once you set the volume, do not increase it.

Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level,

so a volume level that does not cause discomfort

might still damage your hearing.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear headphones while operating a motor ve-

hicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic haz-

ard and can be illegal in some areas.

Even though some headphones let you hear some

outside sounds when listening at normal volume lev-

els, they still can present a traffic hazard.

USING THE BELT CLIP

The belt clip lets you keep your hands free while you

listen to the SCP-92. To attach the belt clip, align it

with the slots on the back of the SCP-92, then press

the tab and slide the clip in the opposite direction of

the arrow until it latches in place.

To remove the belt clip, press the tab and slide it off

in the direction of the arrow.

PLAYING A CASSETTE TAPE

sette’s hub with a pencil. Do not touch the

exposed tape.
