FEATURES

Your Optimus SCP-97 Auto Reverse AM/FM Stereo

Cassette Player is a lightweight, portable AM/FM ra-

bass sound.

radio’s receiver tuned to the selected broadcast fre-

quency.

side of the tape when the side currently playing ends,

for continuous playback.

Direction Switch — lets you change the tape’s di-

rection to play the other side without removing the

tape from the cassette player.

Three Power Sources — let you power the SCP-97

from two AA batteries (not supplied), standard AC

power (using an optional AC adapter), or a vehicle’s

DC power (using an optional DC adapter).

Removable Belt Clip — allows hands-free carrying

so you can take the SCP-97 anywhere you go.

Note: To listen to your SCP-97 privately or in stereo,

you need a pair of headphones or amplified speakers

(not supplied) with a 1/8-inch mini plug. Your local Ra-

dioShack store sells a wide variety of headphones

and speakers.

PREPARATION

POWER SOURCES

You can power your SCP-97 from any of these power

sources:

• Internal battery power

• Standard AC power

• Vehicle battery power

Note: Connecting an adapter automatically discon-

nects internal battery power.

USING INTERNAL BATTERY

POWER

You can power the SCP-97 from two AA batteries

(not supplied). For the best performance, we recom-

mend alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack Cat.

No. 23-557. Follow these steps to install batteries.

14-1244.fm Page 5 Friday, July 2, 1999 12:28 PM

1. Press down on the battery compartment cover

and slide it off in the direction of the arrow.

2. Install the batteries as indicated by the polarity

symbols (+ and –) marked next to the compart-

ment, with the back battery over the ribbon.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size

and recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries or different

types of batteries.

3. Replace the cover.

When the sound distorts or weakens, replace the bat-

teries.

Cautions:

• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

Do not burn or bury them.

• If you do not plan to use the SCP-97 for a week

or more, or if you plan to power it using only an

AC or DC adapter, remove the batteries. Batter-

ies can leak chemicals that can corrode or dam-

age electronic circuits.

USING AC POWER

You can power the SCP-97 with an optional AC

adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1654.

Cautions:

• The recommended AC adapter supplies 3 volts

and delivers at least 300 milliamps. Its center tip

is set to negative, and its plug correctly fits the

SCP-97’s DC3V jack. Using an adapter that does

not meet these specifications could damage the

SCP-97 or the adapter.

14-1244.fm Page 7 Friday, July 2, 1999 12:28 PM

• Be sure to connect the adapter to the SCP-97

before you connect it to the AC outlet, and dis-

connect the adapter from the AC outlet before

you disconnect it from the SCP-97.

Follow these steps to power the SCP-97 from a stan-

dard AC outlet.

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

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

mm inner diameter barrel plug into the adapter’s

cord so it reads –TIP.

3. Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the SCP-97’s

DC3V jack.

4. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

USING VEHICLE BATTERY

POWER

You can power the SCP-97 from a vehicle’s battery

using an optional DC adapter, such as Cat. No. 270-

1560.

Cautions:

• The recommended DC adapter supplies 3 volts

and delivers at least 300 milliamps. Its center tip

is set to negative, and its plug correctly fits the

SCP-97’s DC3V jack. Using an adapter that does

not meet these specifications could damage the

SCP-97 or the adapter.

• Be sure to connect the adapter to the SCP-97

before you connect it to the cigarette-lighter

socket, and disconnect the adapter from the cig-

arette-lighter socket before you disconnect it

from the SCP-97.

14-1244.fm Page 9 Friday, July 2, 1999 12:28 PM

Follow these steps to power the SCP-97 from a vehi-

cle’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 barrel plug into the adapter’s

cord with the tip set to negative (–).

3. Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the SCP-97’s

DC3V jack.

4. Plug the adapter into a vehicle’s cigarette-lighter

socket.
