FEATURES

Your Optimus SCP-99 Auto Reverse Digital AM/FM

Stereo Cassette Player delivers excellent stereo

sound through your headphones or amplified speak-

er system. The SCP-99 is portable so you can listen

to cassette tapes or the AM/FM radio just about any-

where.

Important: To listen to your SCP-99, 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.

The SCP-99’s features include:

AM/FM Digital PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) Tuning

— gives you precise tuning and drift-free reception.

Automatic Reverse — 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 — reduces tape back-

ground noise to improve the sound you hear.

PREPARATION

CONNECTING POWER

You can power your SCP-99 from:

• Internal batteries (not supplied)

• AC power (using an optional AC adapter)

• Your vehicle’s battery (using an optional DC

adapter)

Note: Connecting an adapter automatically discon-

nects internal batteries.

Using Batteries

The SCP-99 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). Use a battery charger (Cat.

No. 23-133) to recharge nickel-cadmium batteries.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and

recommended type.

14-1243.fm Page 5 Friday, July 2, 1999 12:15 PM

• 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.

1. Press down and slide the battery compartment

cover in the direction of the arrow marked on the

cover, then lift open the cover.

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

beside the compartment.

3. Close the cover.

14-1243.fm Page 6 Friday, July 2, 1999 12:15 PM

The SCP-99’s battery indicator shows the amount of

battery power remaining. The indicator consists of

three sections — the more sections that appear, the

higher the battery power. If appears and flashes

or the SCP-99 stops operating properly, replace (al-

kaline) or recharge (nickel-cadmium) both batteries.

Cautions:

• If you do not plan to use the SCP-99 for a week

or more, or if you plan to use only AC or DC

power, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak

chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

Do not burn or bury them.

Important: This product is capable of using re-

chargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. At the end of

the batteries’ life, they must be recycled or disposed

of properly. Contact your local, county, or state haz-

ardous waste management authorities for informa-

tion on recycling or disposal programs in your area.

14-1243.fm Page 7 Friday, July 2, 1999 12:15 PM

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.

Using AC Power

To power the SCP-99 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 200 milli-

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

its plug must properly fit the SCP-99’s DC 3V

jack. The recommended adapter meets these

specifications. Using an adapter that does not

meet these specifications could damage the

SCP-99 or the adapter.

• Be sure to connect the adapter to the SCP-99

before you plug it into the AC outlet, and unplug

the adapter from the AC outlet before you

unplug it from the SCP-99.

14-1243.fm Page 8 Friday, July 2, 1999 12:15 PM

Follow these steps to connect the SCP-99 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-99’s DC 3V jack.

4. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

To power the SCP-99 from your vehicle’s battery,

you need a DC adapter such as Cat. No. 273-1810

or 270-1560.

14-1243.fm Page 9 Friday, July 2, 1999 12:15 PM

Cautions:

• You must use a DC adapter that supplies at

least 3 volts and delivers at least 200 milliamps

of DC vehicle battery power. Its center tip must

be set to negative, and its plug must fit the SCP-

99’s DC 3V jack. The recommended adapter

meets these specifications. Using an adapter

that does not meet these specifications could

damage the SCP-99 or the adapter.

• Always plug the adapter into the SCP-99 before

you plug it into the cigarette-lighter socket, and

unplug the adapter from the cigarette-lighter

socket before you unplug it from the SCP-99.

Follow these steps to power the SCP-99 from your

vehicle’s battery.

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.
