FEATURES

Your Optimus SCP-87 Digital AM/FM Stereo Cas-

sette Player delivers excellent stereo sound through

your headphones or amplified speaker system. Be-

cause the SCP-87 is portable, you can listen to cas-

sette tapes or the AM/FM radio indoors or out.

Important: To listen to your SCP-87, you need a pair

of headphones or amplified speakers (not supplied)

with a 1/8-inch mini-plug. Your local RadioShack

store sells many headphones and speakers.

This player’s features include:

PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) Tuning — gives you

precise tuning and drift-free reception.

Automatic Reverse — automatically changes the

tape direction at the end of a tape side so you can

continuously play both sides of a cassette tape.

Tape Direction Control — lets you change the

tape’s direction to play the other side at any time

without having to eject the tape and turn it over.

Display — shows the currently tuned station.

and tape noise to improve the sound of your tapes.

ization for normal or CrO2/metal cassette tapes.

87 from internal batteries (not supplied), standard AC

power (with an optional AC adapter), or your vehi-

cle’s battery (with an optional DC adapter) so you

can listen to music almost anywhere.

PREPARATION

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

To protect the playback head

during shipment, a protective

sleeve is attached. Remove it

before you use the SCP-87’s

cassette player.

CONNECTING TO POWER

You can power your SCP-87 from:

• Internal batteries

• AC power (using an AC adapter)

• Your vehicle’s battery (using a DC adapter)

Using Battery Power

The SCP-87 can use two AA batteries for power. For

the best performance and longest life, we recom-

mend alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack Cat.

No. 23-557.

You can also use rechargeable nickel-cadmium bat-

teries (Cat. No. 23-125). These batteries (and a bat-

tery charger, Cat. No. 23-133) are available at your

local RadioShack store.

14-1230.fm Page 6 Friday, July 2, 1999 10:26 AM

Caution: Do not mix old and new batteries, different

types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or recharge-

able), or rechargeable batteries of different capaci-

ties.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1. Open the battery compartment cover by press-

ing down and sliding it in the direction of the

arrow on the cover, then lifting open the cover.

Caution: The battery compartment cover is

hinged. Do not try to remove it.

2. Insert the batteries into the compartment as indi-

cated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked

outside the compartment.

3. Close the cover.

14-1230.fm Page 7 Friday, July 2, 1999 10:26 AM

If the BATT indicator becomes dim during operation

or does not light when you turn on the SCP-87, re-

place (alkaline) or recharge (nickel-cadmium) both

batteries.

Caution: Always dispose of old batteries promptly

and properly.

Important: This product is capable of using re-

chargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. At the end of

the batteries’ useful life, they must be recycled or dis-

posed of properly. Contact your local, county, or

state hazardous waste management authorities for

information on recycling or disposal programs in your

area. Some options that might be available are: mu-

nicipal curbside collection, drop-off boxes at retailers

such as your local RadioShack store, recycling col-

lection centers, and mail-back programs.

14-1230.fm Page 8 Friday, July 2, 1999 10:26 AM

Using AC Power

To power the SCP-87 from a standard AC outlet, you

need an AC adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1654.

Cautions:

• You must use an AC adapter that supplies 3

volts DC power and delivers at least 300 milli-

amps. Its center tip must be set to negative, and

its plug must properly fit the SCP-87’s DC 3V

jack. The recommended adapter meets these

requirements. Using an adapter that does not

meet these requirements could damage the

SCP-87 or the adapter.

• Be sure you connect the adapter to the SCP-87

before you plug it into the AC outlet and that you

unplug the adapter from the AC outlet before you

unplug it from the SCP-87, to prevent damage to

the SCP-87 or the adapter.

14-1230.fm Page 9 Friday, July 2, 1999 10:26 AM

Follow these steps to connect the SCP-87 to AC

power.

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

2. Insert the adapter’s 3.4 mm outer diameter/1.3

mm inner diameter tip into the adapter’s cord, so

it reads –TIP.

3. Insert the plug into the SCP-87’s DC 3V jack.

4. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Note: Connecting the AC adapter automatically

disconnects internal batteries.
