FEATURES

Your Optimus SCP-96 AM/FM Stereo Cassette Play-

er delivers high-fidelity stereo sound through your

headphones or amplified speaker system. Because

the SCP-96 is portable, you can listen to cassette

tapes or the AM/FM radio indoors or out.

Important: To listen to your SCP-96, you need a pair

of headphones or amplified speakers (not supplied)

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

store sells a wide variety of headphones and speak-

ers.

Your SCP-96’s features include:

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.

Dolby B Noise Reduction — can play tapes record-

ed with Dolby B noise reduction so background and

tape noise is reduced.

Tone Controls — let you adjust the treble, bass, and

extended bass.

Three Power Sources — let you power your SCP-

96 from internal batteries (not supplied), standard AC

vehicle’s battery (with an optional DC adapter) so

you can listen to music almost anywhere.

Battery Check LEDs — show you the amount of

power remaining in the batteries.

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

Note: To power your SCP-96, you need two AA bat-

teries or an optional AC or DC adapter.

PREPARATION

CONNECTING TO POWER

You can power your SCP-96 from:

• internal batteries

• AC power

• your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket

Using Battery Power

To power the SCP-96 from internal batteries, you

need two AA batteries. For the best performance and

longest life, we recommend alkaline batteries, such

as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-557.

You can also use rechargeable nickel-cadmium

batteries (Cat. No. 23-125) and recharge them with a

battery charger (Cat. No. 23-133).

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and

recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types

of batteries (standard, alkaline, or recharge-

able), or rechargeable batteries of different

capacities.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

14-1242.fm Page 5 Friday, July 2, 1999 12:04 PM

1. Open the battery compartment cover by sliding it

in the direction of the arrow marked on the cov-

er, then lifting up its outside edge.

Caution: The battery compartment cover is

hinged. Do not try to remove it.

2. Put the batteries into the compartment as indi-

cated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked

outside the compartment.

3. Close the cover.

When you turn on the radio or play a tape, one of the

three BATTERY indicators lights to show the amount

of power remaining in the batteries.

14-1242.fm Page 6 Friday, July 2, 1999 12:04 PM

If the red (L) BATTERY indicator lights during opera-

tion, replace 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:

municipal curbside collection, drop-off boxes at re-

tailers such as your local RadioShack store,

recycling collection centers, and mail-back programs.

14-1242.fm Page 7 Friday, July 2, 1999 12:04 PM

Using AC Power

To power the SCP-96 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 at

least 3 volts DC power and delivers at least 200

milliamps. Its center tip must be set to negative,

and its barrel plug must properly fit the SCP-96’s

DC 3V jack. The recommended adapter meets

these specifications. Using an adapter that does

not meet these specifications could damage the

SCP-96 or the adapter.

• Be sure you connect the adapter to the SCP-96

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-96, to prevent dam-

age to the SCP-96 or the adapter.

Follow these steps to connect the SCP-96 to AC

power.

14-1242.fm Page 8 Friday, July 2, 1999 12:04 PM

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

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

inner diameter barrel plug into the adapter’s

cord, with the tip set to negative (–TIP).

3. Insert the plug into the SCP-96’s DC 3V jack.

4. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Note: Connecting the AC adapter automatically dis-

connects internal batteries.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

To power the SCP-96 from your vehicle’s battery,

you need a DC adapter, such as Cat. No. 270-1560

or 273-1810.

Cautions:

• You must use a DC adapter that supplies at

least 3 volts DC power and delivers at least 200

milliamps. Its center tip must be set to negative,

and its barrel plug must properly fit the SCP-96’s

DC 3V jack. The recommended adapter meets

these specifications. Using an adapter that does

not meet these specifications could damage the

SCP-96 or the adapter.

14-1242.fm Page 9 Friday, July 2, 1999 12:04 PM

• Be sure you plug the adapter into the SCP-96

before you plug it into the cigarette-lighter

socket, and that you unplug the adapter from the

cigarette-lighter socket before you unplug it from

the SCP-96, to prevent damage to the SCP-96

or the adapter.

Follow these steps to power the SCP-96 from your

vehicle’s battery.

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

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

inner diameter barrel plug into the adapter’s

cord, with the tip set to negative (–TIP).

3. Insert the plug into the SCP-96’s DC 3V jack.

4. Plug the other end of the adapter into the vehi-

cle’s cigarette-lighter socket.

Note: Connecting the DC adapter automatically dis-

connects internal batteries.
