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-

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.
