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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

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.
