SCP-62  (140-1202)                Preparation          Faxback Doc. # 7704

SETTING THE FREQUENCY STEP SWITCH

Lift open the cassette compartment door and use a small screwdriver to set
the frequency step switch as follows:

    If you are in the United States, set the switch to 10 kHz.

    If you are in a country where the AM frequency increments are 9 kHz,
    set the switch to 9 kHz.

After you set the switch, close the cassette compartment door.

INITIALIZING THE SCP-62

The display might not respond to any button press the first time you
supply power to your SCP-62.  If this happens or any time the display
appears locked up, initialize the SCP-62 by following these steps.

CAUTION:  Initializing the display resets the clock and erases the memory
          settings.  Do this only when you are certain the SCP-62 is not
          working properly.

1.  Lift open the cassette compartment door.

2.  Using a small screwdriver, slide the frequency step switch (9 kHz/10
    kHz) to the other position and back.

3.  Close the cassette compartment door.

SETTING THE CLOCK

1.  Set RADIO/TAPE to TAPE.

2.  Press MODE once.  The display flashes for about 10 seconds.

3.  While the display flashes, repeatedly press or press and hold down
    HOUR to set the hour.  then repeatedly press or press and hold down
    MIN to set the minutes.

4.  Wait until the display stops flashing or press MODE twice while the
    display flashes to return to the current time display.

SETTING THE ALARM

The alarm sounds through the earphones or the speakers (whichever is
attached).  See "Connecting Earphones/Speakers."

Follow these steps to set the alarm.

1.  Set RADIO/TAPE to TAPE.

2.  Press MODE twice.  The display flashes for about 10 seconds.

3.  While the display flashes, repeatedly press or press and hold down
    HOUR to set the hour.  Then repeatedly press or press and hold down
   MIN to set the minutes.

4.  Wait until the display stops flashing or press MODE while the display
    flashes to return to the current time display.

Press ALARM to turn the alarm feature on and off.  A bell appears on the
display when the alarm is on, and disappears when you turn off the alarm.

At the programmed time, the buzzer sounds through the earphones/speakers
while you listen to the radio or cassette tape.

To stop the buzzer, press ALARM STOP/SELECT.  If you do not press ALARM
STOP/SELECT, the alarm automatically stops after 10 minutes.

NOTES:  To hear the alarm through speakers or earphones, you must turn the
        radio on or set the tape player to PLAY.

        Adjust VOLUME to set the alarm's loudness.  If you set the VOLUME
        to MIN, you cannot hear the alarm.

CONNECTING EARPHONES/SPEAKERS

Follow these steps to connect the earphones/speakers.

1.  Insert the earphones/speaker's 1/8-inch plug into the tape player's
    PHONES jack.

2.  Slowly adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening level.

LISTENING SAFELY

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use earphones.

    Do not listen at extremely high levels.  Extended high-volume
    listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

    Set the volume to its lowest level before you begin listening.  After
    you put on the earphones, adjust the volume to a comfortable listening
    level.

    Do not increase the volume once you have established a comfortable
    listening level.  Over tie, 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 earphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. 
This can cause a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.

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

USING THE BELT CLIP

To attach the belt clip, align the clip's edges with the guides on the
back of the SCP-62 and slide the clip until it locks into place.

To remove the clip, pull the belt clip's latch up and slide it off.
