SCP-22  (140-1063)               Preparation            Faxback Doc. # 6988

CONNECTING TO POWER

You can power the SCP-22 from two AA alkaline, heavy duty, or nickel
-cadmium batteries, AC power (using an AC adapter), or a vehicle's
cigarette lighter socket (using a DC adapter).

Using Battery Power

To power the SCP-22 from internal batteries, you need two AA batteries.
For best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack
Cat. No. 230-0552.

You can also use rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries (Cat. No. 230
-0125.  These batteries and a battery charger (Cat. No. 230-0133) are
available at your local Radio Shack store.

Caution:  Do not mix different types of batteries.

Follow these steps to install the batteries.

1.  Open the battery compartment cover by pressing it down, sliding it in
    the direction of the arrow, and lifting it up.

Follow these steps to power the SCP-22 from the vehicle's battery power.

1.  Set the adapter's voltage switch to 3V.

2.  Plug the orange-tipped barrel plug into the adapter's cord with the
    tip set to negative (-).

3.  Insert the barrel plug into the SCP-22's DC 3V jack.

4.  Plug the other end of the adapter into the vehicle's cigarette-lighter
    socket.

*  Be sure you plug the adapter into the SCP-22 before you plug it into
   the cigarette-lighter socket, and that you unplug the adapter from the
   cigarette-lighter socket before you unplug it from the SCP-22.
