Tesco does not list operating manuals on their web site, so I suggest that you contact them directly by following this link:

They should be able to provide you with the needed manual.

my lcd screen is broken , i need a lcd screen for model no. SC 500172 , can i get it in india, singapore or dubai or anyother place and what is the cost.

There is quite a bit of speculation on how to determine this. The following site will give you some insight: http://my.malloc.us/silverspring/2008/08/clarification-of-new-ta-088-models/ . If it is to load custom firmware, there is no harm in trying the pandora battery. It does not brick the v3 PSP. It just does not work. I tried it myself. Hope it helps.

0246 is the code 1st cover the top of the remote with your hand press TV you can now move your hand, now press and hold select and the red button togeather the remote light will flash twice enter the code 0246 then press select cover top again and press SKY button it should now control your tv

Contacted the support number as nothing heard on your site, it seems there is a problem with some Technika MP3 Players that the system for setting up on the computer has been corrupted. the result is that the computer cannot recognise the MP3 as a drive. alas I have to return the item and have been advised for now not to buy a Technika MP3 until the problem has been resolved.

I hope this may help anyone else with the same problem, they need to contact the support help line

Basic Instructions for Technika Model TA-13

On this model there are 7 buttons:
Left to Right these are:

PTT, Push to talk on lh side as screen faces you.
Power/Menu
Scan
Call
Down
Up
Torch Light (on rh side)

Assuming you have used the power button to turn on the radio, the default channel after installing the batteries is 1 or else the last channel to be used.

Press the power/menu button once-briefly, (the current channel will flash for about 10 seconds.) Then use the Up and Down arrows to change channel. Wait for the remaining few seconds and the radio will return to normal operation.

Press the menu button twice, the letter H or L will appear and can be altered by the Up and Down keys to change the power level of the radio. I think this is transmit power which may help you avoid infuriating local taxi companies. Switch back to High power when you're about to go out for the night and need a ride.

Press the menu button three times. This will turn off Squelch control and make a terrible din. Not terribly useful unless you want to pick up a really weak signal (or find out where the taxi driver has taken your neighbour.)

An easy way of finding a channel is to press and hold the Scan button and then the device will rotate through the available channels looking for a signal. When someone transmits, the scan will pause and you can capture it by pressing the PTT button for a second or two. I have found this helpful in pairing my radios with other sets, or picking out channels that work with friend's radios.

Finally, Volume control is really simple, just up and down when not in any other mode.

I had the instructions, which I think included a mention of all available channels I'll scan and post them if ever I find them. hope this part helps though.
