PREPARATION
POWER SOURCES
You can power your SCP-97 from any of these power
sources:
• Internal battery power
• Standard AC power
• Vehicle battery power
Note: Connecting an adapter automatically discon-
nects internal battery power.
USING INTERNAL BATTERY

You can power the SCP-97 from two AA batteries
(not supplied). For the best performance, we recom-
mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

When the sound distorts or weakens, replace the
batteries.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and
properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the SCP-97 for a
week or more, or if you plan to power it using only an
AC or DC adapter, remove the batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that destroy electronic parts.
USING AC POWER
You can power the SCP-97 using an 3V, 300-mA AC
adapter and a size H Adaptaplug®(neither supplied).
Both are available at your local RadioShack store.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power source
that supplies 3V DC and delivers at
least 300 mA. Its center tip must be set
to negative and its plug must fit the SCP-97's

DC3V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet
these specifications could damage the SCP-97
or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the SCP-97
before you connect it to AC power. When you
finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power
before you disconnect it from the SCP-97.
Follow these steps to power the SCP-97 from a stan-
dard AC outlet.
1. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 3V.
2. Insert the size H Adaptaplug into the adapter’s
cord with the tip set to negative (–).
3. Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the SCP-97’s
DC3V jack.
4. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

USING VEHICLE BATTERY
POWER
You can power the SCP-97 from a vehicle’s 12V
power source (such as cigarette-lighter socket) using
a 3V, 300-mA DC adapter and a size H Adaptaplug
(neither supplied). Both are available at your local
RadioShack store.
Cautions:
You must use a power source that
supplies 3V DC and delivers at least
300 mA. Its center tip must be set to
negative and its plug must fit the SCP-97's DC3V
jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the SCP-97 or the
adapter.
• Always connect the DC adapter to the SCP-97
before you connect it to the power source. When
you finish, disconnect the adapter from the pow-
er source before you disconnect it from the SCP-
97.
