For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries. Cautions: • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. • Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable) or rechargeable batteries of different capacities. 4 14-1253.fm Page 5 Tuesday, July 27, 1999 12:50 PM Follow these steps to install batteries. 1. Press and slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow until it stops. 2. Lift the curved edge of the cover. Caution: The battery compartment cover is hinged and cannot be removed. 3. Place the batteries in the compartment and on top of the attached ribbon, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked on outside the compartment. 4. Close the cover. When the sound gets distorted or weak, or the SCP-101 stops operating properly, 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-101 with batteries for a week or more, or if you plan to use only stan 5 14-1253.fm Page 6 Tuesday, July 27, 1999 12:50 PM dard AC or vehicle power, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts. USING AC POWER You can power the SCP-101 using a 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 positive and its plug must fit the SCP-101's DC 3V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the SCP-101 or the adapter. • Always connect the AC adapter to the SCP-101 before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the SCP-101. 6 14-1253.fm Page 7 Tuesday, July 27, 1999 12:50 PM Follow these steps to power the SCP-101 from standard AC power. 1. If the adapter has a voltage switch, set the switch to 3V. 2. Insert the Adaptaplug into the adapter’s cord so it reads TIP +. 3. Insert the Adaptaplug into the SCP-101’s DC 3V jack. 4. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet. Note: Connecting an adapter to the SCP-101's DC 3V jack disconnects the internal batteries. USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER You can power the SCP-101 from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as cigarette-lighter socket) using a 3V, 300mA DC adapter and a...
