PREPARATION  
INSTALLING BATTERIES  
You need two AA batteries to power the SCP-92. For  
the best performance, we recommend alkaline bat-  
teries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552. Follow  
these steps to install batteries.  
1. Push the battery compartment cover in the direc-  
tion of the arrow marked on the cover and lift it  
up.  
2. Install the batteries as indicated by the polarity  
symbols (+ and –) marked next to the compart-  
ment, with the last battery over the ribbon.

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.  
3. Close the cover.  
If the sound gets distorted or weak, replace the bat-  
teries.  
Cautions:  
• If you do not plan to use the SCP-92 for a week  
or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak  
chemicals that corrode or damage electronic cir-  
cuits.  
• Always dispose of old batteries promptly and  
properly.

CONNECTING HEADPHONES/  
SPEAKERS  
Connect the supplied stereo headphones or ampli-  
fied speakers (not supplied) with a 1/8-inch stereo  
plug to the  
jack for stereo sound.  
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 per-  
manent 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 ve-  
hicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic haz-  
ard and can be illegal in some areas.  
Even though some headphones let you hear some  
outside sounds when listening at normal volume lev-  
els, they still can present a traffic hazard.

listen to the SCP-92. To attach the belt clip, align it  
with the slots on the back of the SCP-92, then press  
the tab and slide the clip in the opposite direction of  
the arrow until it latches in place.  
To remove the belt clip, press the tab and slide it off

TAPE TIPS  
Tape Quality  
For the best performance, use only regular length  
(60- or 90-minute) cassette tapes. We do not recom-  
mend long-playing cassette tapes, such as C-120s,  
because they are extremely thin and can easily tan-  
gle in the playback mechanism.  
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 turn  
the tape over and fast-forward to the end again. 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 al-  
low any sharp objects near the cassette.  
Cleaning the Tape-Handling Parts  
Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape’s coating can accu-  
mulate on the tape head and other parts that the tape  
touches. This can reduce the SCP-92’s performance.  
Follow these steps to clean the tape-handling parts  
after about every 20 hours of tape player operation.  
1. Remove the batteries.  
2. Open the cassette compartment door.  
3. Press PLAY to expose the tape-handling parts.

4. Use a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol  
or tape head cleaning solution to clean the play-  
back head, pinch roller, capstan and tape guide.  
5. When you finish cleaning, press STOP and close  
the compartment. Then install the batteries.  
Note: Your local RadioShack store has a complete  
line of cassette deck cleaning accessories.
