PREPARATION

You can power your SCP-83 from any of these power

sources:

• Internal battery power

• Standard AC power (using an AC adapter)

• Vehicle battery power (using a DC adapter)

USING INTERNAL BATTERY

POWER

You can power the SCP-83 from two AA batteries

(not supplied). For the best performance, we recom-

mend alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack Cat.

No. 23-557. Follow these steps to install batteries.

14-1224.fm Page 5 Thursday, July 1, 1999 5:18 PM

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 compart-

ment, with the back battery over the ribbon.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size

and type. Never mix fresh and old batteries or

different battery types.

• Always dispose of old batteries promptly and

properly.

3. Replace the cover.

Notes:

• If the sound gets distorted or weak, replace the

batteries.

• If you do not plan to use the SCP-83 for a week

or more, or if you plan to power it using only an

AC or DC adapter, remove the batteries. Batter-

ies can leak chemicals that corrode or damage

electronic circuits.

14-1224.fm Page 6 Thursday, July 1, 1999 5:18 PM

USING AC POWER

You can power the SCP-83 from AC power using an

optional AC adapter, such as RadioShack Cat. No.

273-1654.

Cautions:

• The recommended AC adapter supplies 3 volts

and delivers at least 300 milliamps. Its center tip

is set to negative, and its plug correctly fits the

SCP-83’s DC 3V jack. Using an adapter that

does not meet these specifications could dam-

age the SCP-83 or the adapter.

• Be sure the adapter is connected to the SCP-83

before you connect it to the AC outlet and that

you disconnect the adapter from the AC outlet

before you disconnect it from the SCP-83. Oth-

erwise, the unconnected plug might touch some

metal and damage the adapter.

14-1224.fm Page 7 Thursday, July 1, 1999 5:18 PM

Follow these steps to power the SCP-83 from a stan-

dard AC outlet.

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

2. Insert the adapter’s 3.4 mm outer diameter/1.3

mm inner diameter barrel plug into the adapter’s

cord so it reads –TIP.

3. Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the SCP-83’s

DC 3V jack.

4. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Connecting an AC adapter automatically disconnects

internal battery power.

USING VEHICLE BATTERY

POWER

You can power the SCP-83 from a vehicle’s battery

using an optional DC adapter, such as RadioShack

Cat. No. 270-1560.

Cautions:

• The recommended DC adapter supplies 3 volts

and delivers at least 300 milliamps. Its center tip

is set to negative, and its plug correctly fits the

SCP-83’s DC 3V jack. Using an adapter that

does not meet these specifications could dam-

age the SCP-83 or the adapter.

• Be sure the adapter is connected to the SCP-83

before you connect it to the cigarette-lighter

socket and that you disconnect the adapter from

the cigarette-lighter socket before you discon-

nect it from the SCP-83. Otherwise, the uncon-

nected plug might touch some metal in the

vehicle and damage the adapter.

14-1224.fm Page 9 Thursday, July 1, 1999 5:18 PM

Follow these steps to power the SCP-83 from a vehi-

cle’s battery.

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

2. Insert the adapter’s 3.4 mm outer diameter/1.3

mm inner diameter barrel plug into the adapter’s

cord with the tip set to negative (–).

3. Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the SCP-83’s

DC 3V jack.

4. Plug the adapter into a vehicle’s cigarette-lighter

socket.

Connecting a DC adapter automatically disconnects

internal battery power.
