SUPPLYING POWER

You can use one of three sources to power the SCP-64:

*  internal batteries

*  standard AC power (with an optional adapter)

*  your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket (with an optional adapter)

To power the SCP-64 from internal batteries, follow the steps below.
To power the SCP-64 from standard AC power AC power or your vehicle's
cigarette-lighter socket.

Using Internal Batteries

You need two AA batteries to power the SCP-64.  We recommend alkaline
batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-552.  You can also use
rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries (Cat. No. 23-125).  If you use
rechargeable batteries, you also need a battery charger (such as Cat. No.
23-133).

Caution:  Do not mix nonrechargeable and rechargeable batteries in the
          SCP-64.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1.  Press down on the battery compartment cover and slide it off in the
    direction of the arrow.

2.  Install the batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -)
    marked next to the compartment.

3.  Replace the cover.

Note:  Your cassette player is capable of using rechargeable nickel-
       cadmium batteries.  At the end of the batteries' useful life, they
       must be recycled or disposed of properly.  Contact your local,
       county, or state hazardous waste management authorities for
       information on recycling or disposal programs in your area.  Some
       options that might be available are:  municipal curbside
       collection, drop-off boxes at retailers, recycling collection
       centers, and mail-back programs.

USING HEADPHONES OR SPEAKERS

To listen to the SCP-64, you need a pair of headphones (not supplied) or
amplified speakers (not supplied) with a 1/8-inch plug.  You can find a
wide selection of headphones and speakers at your local Radio Shack store.

Connecting Headphones/Speakers

Insert the headphones' or speakers' 1/8-inch plug into the SCP-64's
headphones jack.

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 permanent 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 vehicle or riding a
bicycle.  This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.

Even though some headphones are designed to let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still present a
traffic hazard.

USING THE BELT CLIP

The belt clip lets you keep your hands free while you listen to the SCP-
64.  To attach the belt clip to the SCP-64, slide the belt clip into the
slot on the cassette player until it locks into place.  Slide the belt
clip over your belt or waistband.

To remove the belt clip from the SCP-64, push down on the belt clip and
slide it off in the direction of the arrow.
