PREPARATION

INSTALLING BATTERIES

You need two AA batteries to power the SCP-88. For

the best performance and longest life, we recom-

mend alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack Cat.

No. 23-552. Follow these steps to install batteries.

1. Press down on the battery compartment cover

and slide it off in the direction of the arrow

marked on the cover.

2. Install the batteries as indicated by the polarity

symbols (+ and –) marked beside the compart-

ment, with the batteries over the ribbon.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size

and type.

14-1231.fm Page 5 Friday, July 2, 1999 10:37 AM

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different

types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or

rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of

different capacities.

• Always dispose of old batteries promptly and

properly.

Note: Pull the ribbon to lift out the batteries.

3. Replace the cover.

Notes:

• If the sound gets weak or distorted, replace the

batteries.

• If you do not plan to use the SCP-88 for a week

or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak

chemicals that corrode or damage electronic cir-

cuits.

CONNECTING HEADPHONES

Connect the supplied stereo headphones to the

SCP-88’s

PHONE jack for stereo sound. Then put on

the headphones and adjust the headband for a snug

fit.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when

you use headphones.

• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you

begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust

the volume to a comfortable level.

14-1231.fm Page 7 Friday, July 2, 1999 10:37 AM

• 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 could 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.

14-1231.fm Page 8 Friday, July 2, 1999 10:37 AM

CONNECTING OPTIONAL

SPEAKERS

Instead of headphones, you can connect amplified

speakers with a 1/8-inch mini plug to the PHONE jack.

Your local RadioShack store sells a wide variety of

amplified speakers.

USING THE BELT CLIP

The belt clip lets you keep your hands free while you

listen to the SCP-88.

14-1231.fm Page 9 Friday, July 2, 1999 10:37 AM

To attach the belt clip, place it in the recessed area

on the cassette player and slide it in the direction of

the arrow until it clicks into place.

If you need to remove the belt clip, push down on the

tab and slide it off in the direction of the arrow.
