We recommend alkaline batteries (such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-557). You can also use rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries (Cat. No. 23125). If you use rechargeable batteries, you also need a battery charger (Cat. No. 23-133). Follow these steps to install batteries. 1. Pull up the cassette compartment cover. The cassette compartment door opens easily. Illustration 2. Press the battery compartment cover’s tab in the direction of the arrow and the battery cover pops open. Illustration 4 14-1098.fm Page 5 Thursday, July 1, 1999 10:29 AM 3. Put the batteries into the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside the battery cover. Cautions: • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. • Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities. 4. Close the battery compartment cover, then close the cassette compartment door and cover. Cautions: • Never leave dead or weak batteries in the SCP-80. • If you do not plan to use the SCP-80 for a month or more, remove the batteries. • Always dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not bury or burn them. When the sound becomes weak or distorted, replace (alkaline) or recharge (Ni-Cd) the batteries. 5 14-1098.fm Page 6 Thursday, July 1, 1999 10:29 AM Important: Your SCP-80 can use rechargeable nickelcadmium batteries. At the end of the batteries’ useful life, they must be recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your local, county, or state hazardous waste management authorities for information on recycling or disposal programs in your area. Some options that might be available are: municipal curbside collection, drop-off boxes at retailers such as your local RadioShack store, recycling collection centers, and mail-back programs. USING HEADPHONES OR SPEAKERS To listen to the SCP-80, you need to connect a pair of headphones or amplified speakers with a 1/8-inch plug. Pull out the attached rubber plug from the SCP-80’s PHONES jack, then plug in the headphones’ or speakers’ 1 /8-inch plug. Illustration 6 14-1098.fm Page 7 Thursday, July 1, 1999 10:29 AM When you are not using your SCP-80 and headphones or speakers are disconnected, insert the rubber plug back into the PHONES jack to protect against moisture and dust. Listening Safely To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones. • Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level. • Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. • 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 can be illegal in some areas. 7 14-1098.fm Page 8 Thursday, July 1, 1999 10:29 AM Even though some headphones are designed to let you hear outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard. USING THE BELT CLIP For hands-free carrying, slide the belt clip over your belt. Illustration To remove the clip, turn the screw’s LOCK counterclockwise. Then lift off the clip. Illustration To replace the clip, position the clip as shown, put the tip of the screw back into the screw hole, and turn the screw’s LOCK clockwise until it is tight. 8 14-1098.fm Page 9 Thursday, July 1, 1999 10:29 AM USING THE RADIO Important: Make sure you have connected headphones or speakers to the SCP-80. Illustration 1. Set AM/FM/TAPE/RADIO OFF to FM or AM. 2. Adjust VOLUME as desired. 3. Rotate TUNING to select a radio station. Notes: • The SCP-80 has a built-in AM antenna, and the headphones’ or speakers’ cord serves as an FM antenna. For the best AM reception, rotate the SCP-80. For the best FM reception, fully uncoil the headphones’ or speakers’ cord. 9 14-1098.fm Page 10 Thursday, July 1, 1999 10:29 AM • For FM stereo reception, pull up the cassette compartment cover, open the cassette compartment door, and set FM to ST.

The following suggestions will help you care for the SCP-80 so you can enjoy it for years. • Keep the SCP-80 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain minerals that corrode the electronic circuits. • Use and store the SCP-80 only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts. • Handle the SCP-80 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the circuit board and case, and can cause it to work improperly. • Keep the SCP-80 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts. • Wipe the SCP-80 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean it. Modifying or tampering with the SCP-80’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your SCP-80 is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. 17 14-1098.fm Page 18 Thursday, July 1, 1999 10:29 AM THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW Your SCP-80 might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether your SCP-80 is causing the interference, turn it off. If the interference goes away, your SCP-80 is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by: • Reorienting or relocating the receiving antenna • Moving your SCP-80 away from the receiver • Contacting your local RadioShack store for help TAPE TIPS AND TECHNIQUES Cleaning the Tape-Handling Parts Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape’s coating can build up on the tape heads and other parts that the tape touches. This can greatly reduce the SCP-80’s performance. Use the following cleaning procedure after every 20 hours of operation. Your local RadioShack store carries a full line of cassette deck cleaning supplies. 1. Pull up the cassette compartment cover and open the cassette compartment door. 18 14-1098.fm Page 19 Thursday, July 1, 1999 10:29 AM 2. Press the battery compartment cover’s tab in the direction of the arrow and the cover pops open. Then remove the batteries. 3. Press PLAY to expose the tape-handling parts. 4. Use a cotton swab dipped in tape head-cleaning solution or denatured alcohol to gently clean the play head, pinch roller, capstans, and tape guides. Illustration 5. When you finish cleaning, press STOP. Then reinstall the batteries and close the cassette compartment door and cover. 19 14-1098.fm Page 20 Thursday, July 1, 1999 10:29 AM Restoring Tape Tension and Sound Quality After you play a cassette tape several times, the tape might become tightly wound on the reels. This can cause playback sound quality to deteriorate. To restore the sound quality, fast-forward the tape from the beginning to the end of one side, then completely rewind it. Then loosen the tape reels by gently tapping each side of the cassette’s outer shell on a flat surface. Caution: Be careful not to damage the cassette when tapping it. Do not touch the exposed tape or allow any sharp objects near the cassette. 20 14-1098.fm Page 21 Thursday, July 1, 1999 10:29 AM SPECIFICATIONS RADIO AM FM 530–1710 kHz 88–108 MHz IF Rejection 46 dB 60 dB Image Rejection 38 dB 26 dB Selectivity 21 dB 15 dB Signal-to-Noise (S/N) Ratio 30 dB 55 dB Stereo Separation ——— 26 dB Usable Sensitivity 1500 µV/m 10 µV Frequency Range CASSETTE PLAYER Cassette Mechanism ................................
