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 batteries.
Cautions:
• If you do not plan to use the SCP-92 for a week
or more, remove the batteri es. Batteries can leak
chemicals that corrode or damage electronic circuits.
• Always dispose of old batteries promptly and
properly.
