14-1255.fm Page 1 Tuesday, July 27, 1999 10:47 AM

Your Optimus SCP-103 Digital Tuning AM/FM Stereo Auto-

Reverse Cassette Player delivers excellent sound from its

built-in radio or your favorite cassette tapes, using your

speakers or stereo headphones (not supplied). You can set

the time on the cassette player's display, set an alarm to

sound, and store up to 20 radio stations in memory. The tun-

er's PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) circuitry gives you precise tun-

ing and drift-free reception.

Its features include:

Auto-Reverse Cassette Deck — lets you continuously play

a cassette tape.

AM/FM Radio with 20-Station Memory — lets you store up

to 20 radio stations (10 FM and 10 AM) in memory so you

can quickly tune to your favorite stations.

LCD with Clock and Alarm — displays the current time and

lets you set the SCP-103 to sound an alarm at the time you

select.

Seek Tuning — searches forward or backward to the next

strong station in the selected band so you can quickly find

new stations.

BASS ON/OFF Switch — lets you emphasize bass sounds

to suit your listening preferences.

Jack — lets you connect headphones for private listen-

ing, or speakers to share the sound with others.

Three Power Options — let you power the SCP-103 from in-

ternal batteries, standard AC power (with an optional AC

adapter), or your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket (with an

optional DC adapter).

Removable Belt Clip — lets you attach the SCP-103 to your

belt for hands-free carrying when you are on the go.

Key Lock — lets you lock any of the other front panel keys,

to prevent you from accidentally turning the radio on or off,

resetting the clock time, or losing radio stations stored in

memory.

Note: You need a pair of headphones or amplified speakers

(neither supplied) with a 1/8-inch plug to operate your SCP-

103. Your local RadioShack store sells a wide variety of

headphones and speakers.

PREPARATION

USING THE BELT CLIP

To attach the belt clip, align the

tab on the back of the clip with

the recess on the back of the

case, then slide the clip up until

it snaps into place.

To remove the belt clip, press

the upper part of the clip and

slide it down.

POWERING THE SCP-103

You can power your SCP-103 from any of three power sourc-

es:

• internal batteries (not supplied)

• standard AC power (with an optional AC adapter)

• your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket (with an optional

DC adapter)

Note: Connecting an optional adapter disconnects internal

batteries.

14-1255.fm Page 5 Tuesday, July 27, 1999 10:47 AM

Using Batteries

You can power your SCP-103 from two AA batteries (not sup-

plied). We recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries. You

can also use rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. If you

use rechargeable batteries, you also need a battery charger

(not supplied, available at your local RadioShack store).

Cautions:

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of bat-

teries (standard, alkaline, and nickel-cadmium), or

rechargeable batteries of different capacities in the SCP-

103.

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1. Press down on the battery

compartment cover and

slide it in the direction of the

arrow, then lift it up on its

hinge to open it.

2. Install the batteries as indi-

cated by the polarity sym-

bols (+ and –) marked

inside.

3. Replace the cover.

Note: If your SCP-103 locks up, remove one of the batteries,

then reinstall it.

14-1255.fm Page 6 Tuesday, July 27, 1999 10:47 AM

Replace the batteries when the low battery icon flashes on

the display, the sound distorts, or the volume weakens.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do

not burn or bury them.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the SCP-103 for a month

or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals

that can destroy electronic parts.

Important: At the end of a nickel-cadmium battery’s useful

life, it must be recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your

local, county, or state hazardous waste management authori-

ties for information on recycling or disposal programs in your

area. Some options that might be available are: municipal

curbside collection, drop-off boxes at retailers such as your

local RadioShack store, recycling collection centers, and

mail-back programs.

14-1255.fm Page 7 Tuesday, July 27, 1999 10:47 AM

Using AC Power

You can power the SCP-103 using a 3V, 300 mA AC adapter

and a size H Adaptaplug®(neither supplied). Both are avail-

able at your local RadioShack store.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2 power source that sup-

plies 3V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its

center tip must be set to positive and its plug

must fit the SCP-103's DC 3V jack. Using an adapter that

does not meet these specifications could damage the

SCP-103 or the adapter.

• Always connect the AC adapter to the SCP-103 before

you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect

the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from

the SCP-103.

Follow these steps to connect an AC adapter to the SCP-103.

1. Set the adapter's voltage switch to 3V.

2. Insert the Adaptaplug into the AC

adapter's socket. Line up TIP on

the plug with +POS on the socket.

3. Insert the barrel plug into the

SCP-103's

DC 3V jack.

4. Plug the AC adapter into a stan-

dard AC outlet.

14-1255.fm Page 8 Tuesday, July 27, 1999 10:47 AM

Using Your Vehicle's Cigarette-Lighter Socket

You can power the SCP-103 from a vehicle’s 12V power

source (such as cigarette-lighter socket) using a 3V, 300-mA

DC adapter and a size H Adaptaplug®(neither supplied).

Both are available at your local RadioShack store.

Cautions:

You must use a power source that supplies 3V

DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip

must be set to positive and its plug must fit the

SCP-103's DC 3V jack. Using an adapter that does not

meet these specifications could damage the SCP-103 or

the adapter.

• Always connect the DC adapter to the SCP-103 before

you connect it to the power source. When you finish, dis-

connect the adapter from the power source before you

disconnect it from the SCP-103.

Follow these steps to power the SCP-103 from your vehicle's

cigarette-lighter socket.

1. Set the adapter's voltage

switch to 3V.

2. Insert the Adaptaplug into the

DC adapter's socket. Line up

positive (+) on the plug with

TIP on the socket.

14-1255.fm Page 9 Tuesday, July 27, 1999 10:47 AM

3. Insert the plug into the SCP-103's DC 3V jack.

4. Plug the adapter into the vehicle's cigarette-lighter

socket.

Note: If the SCP-103 does not operate when you turn it on,

remove the DC adapter from your vehicle's cigarette-lighter

socket and check the socket for debris. Also, check the fuse

in the adapter and your vehicle's fuse block.

SETTING THE CLOCK

1. In the time mode, press MEMORY/CLOCK. The currently

set time flashes.

Note: If you do not press HOUR or MIN within 5 seconds,

the currently set time stops flashing. If that happens,

repeat this step.

2. Repeatedly press HOUR until the display shows the cor-

rect hour. To rapidly advance the hours, hold down

HOUR.
