We recommend alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552. 1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow until it stops, then lift up on the cover’s outer edge. Caution: The battery compartment cover is attached to the SCP-81 by a hinge. Do not attempt to remove it. 2. Install two AA batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked on the diagram beside the compartment. 3. Replace the cover. When the volume weakens or the sound distorts, replace the batteries. 4 14-1222.fm Page 5 Thursday, July 1, 1999 4:47 PM Notes: • Never mix battery types (old and new, alkaline and carbon zinc, rechargeable and non-rechargeable). • Replace both batteries at the same time. • If the player is not going to be used for a week or more, remove the batteries to avoid damage if they leak. USING HEADPHONES/SPEAKERS To use headphones or amplified speakers, plug them into the jack. Your local RadioShack store has a complete line of headphones and speakers to choose from. 5 14-1222.fm Page 6 Thursday, July 1, 1999 4:47 PM Listening Safely To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones. • Do not listen at extremely high volume 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 headphones, adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level. • 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 cause a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. Even though some headphones are designed to let you hear outside sounds when you listen at normal volume levels, they still present a traffic hazard. 6 14-1222.fm Page 7 Thursday, July 1, 1999 4:47 PM USING THE BELT CLIP For hands-free carrying, slide the belt clip over your belt. To remove the belt clip, press down on the arrow and slide the clip in the direction of the arrow. To reattach the belt clip, place it in the recessed area and slide it in the direction opposite the arrow on the clip until it snaps into place. 7 14-1222.fm Page 8 Thursday, July 1, 1999 4:47 PM CASSETTE PLAYER OPERATION PLAYING A TAPE 1. Pull open the cassette compartment door. 2. Insert a tape into the cassette guides with its open edge facing up and the side you want to play facing the front cover. 3. Close the door. 4.
