SCR-62  (140-0709)         Connecting Power            Faxback Doc. # 15036

You can operate the SCR-62 using internal battery power or household AC
power.

USING INTERNAL BATTERY POWER

You can power your SCR-62 from six D batteries (not supplied).  We
recommend alkaline batteries such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-550.  When the
sound becomes weak, replace the batteries.

1.  Press down on the battery compartment cover's tabs and remove the
    cover.

2.  Remove the AC power cord, if necessary, and insert the batteries as
    indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside the
    compartment.

3.  Replace the cover.

NOTES:   Never leave dead or weak batteries in the SCR-62.  Batteries can
         leak chemicals which might damage it.

         If you are not going to use the SCR-62 for a month or more, or if
         you operate it only with AC power, remove the batteries.

USING AC POWER

Connect one end of the power cord to the AC terminal on the back of the
recorder.  Then connect the other end to a standard AC outlet.

NOTE:  The plug's blades are polarized (one blade is wider than the other)
       and it fits only one way.  If the plug will not fit easily, turn it
       over and try again.  Do not force it.

USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER

You can power the radio/recorder from the vehicle's battery.  Using vehicle
battery power requires a DC adapter (not included), such as Cat. No.
273-1802.

NOTE:  The internal batteries disconnect when you connect the
       radio/recorder to the vehicle's battery power.

CAUTIONS:  The vehicle must have a 12-volt DC negative ground electrical
           system.

           Be sure you connect the adapter to the radio/recorder before you
           connect it to the cigarette-lighter socket, and disconnect the
           adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket before you disconnect
           it from the radio/recorder.  Otherwise, the unconnected plug
           might touch some metal in the vehicle and damage the adapter or
           the vehicle's electrical system.

           You must use a DC adapter that supplies 6 volts and delivers at
           least 250 milliamps.  Its center tip must be set to negative and
           its plug must correctly fit the radio/recorder's DC 6V jack.
           Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could
           seriously damage the radio/recorder or adapter.
