FEATURES
Your Optimus SCP-98 AM/FM Stereo Cassette Player deliv-
ers excellent sound from radio broadcasts or your favorite cas-
sette tapes, through optional speakers or stereo headphones.
The digital tuner’s PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) circuitry gives
you precise tuning and drift-free reception.
Its features include:
Auto-Stop Cassette Deck — automatically stops the tape
when it reaches the end, reducing wear on your tape and the
cassette deck.
Liquid Crystal Display with Clock and Alarm — shows the
current time and lets you set the SCP-98 to sound an alarm at
the time you select.
20-Station Memory — lets you store up to 20 radio stations
(10 FM and 10 AM) in memory so you can quickly tune to a
stored station.
E-BASS — so you can boost the bass sounds.
Three Power Options — you can power the SCP-98 from in-
ternal batteries (not supplied), a standard AC outlet (with an
optional AC adapter), or your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket
(with an optional DC adapter).

PREPARATION
You can power your SCP-98 from any of three power sources:
• Internal battery power
• Standard AC power (with an optional AC adapter)
• Vehicle battery power (with an optional DC adapter)
Note: Connecting an adapter disconnects internal batteries.
USING INTERNAL BATTERY POWER
You can power your SCP-98 from two AA batteries (not sup-
plied). For the best performance, we recommend alkaline bat-
teries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-557. You can also use
rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries (Cat. No. 23-125) with
a battery charger (Cat. No. 23-133).
1. Press down on the battery compartment cover and slide
it in the direction of the arrow until it stops, then lift up the
curved edge of the cover (opposite the arrow).
Caution: The battery compartment cover is attached to
the SCP-98 by a hinge. Do not attempt to remove the
cover completely.

2. Put the batteries into the compartment as indicated by
the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside, with the
back battery over the attached ribbon. 12:00 AM
appears.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and rec-
ommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of
batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.*
3. Close the cover.
When the SCP-98 stops operating properly, replace the bat-
teries. To prevent stored stations from being lost, set STEREO/
MONO/TAPE to TAPE before replacing batteries.
Cautions:
• If you do not plan to use the SCP-98 with batteries for a
month or more, 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.
Notes:
• To easily remove the batteries, open the battery compart-
ment cover and pull up the ribbon.

• Your SCP-98 is capable of using rechargeable nickel-
cadmium batteries. At the end of a nickel-cadmium bat-
tery’s useful life, it must be recycled or disposed of prop-
erly. 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 retailers such as your local RadioShack store,
recycling collection centers, and mail-back programs.
USING STANDARD AC POWER
You can power the SCP-98 from standard AC power using 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 neg-
ative, and its plug correctly fits the SCP-98’s DC 3V jack.
Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications
could damage the SCP-98 or the adapter.
• Always plug the AC adapter into the SCP-98 before you
plug it into the AC outlet and always unplug it from the
AC outlet before you unplug it from the SCP-98.

Follow these steps to power the SCP-98 from a standard AC
outlet.
1. Set the AC adapter’s voltage switch to 3V.
2. Put the adapter’s 3.4 mm outer diameter/1.3 mm inner
diameter barrel plug onto the adapter cord’s small end so
it reads TIP–.
3. Insert the barrel plug into the SCP-98’s DC 3V jack.
4. Plug the AC adapter’s other end into a standard AC out-
let. 12:00 AM appears.
USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER
You can power the SCP-98 from a vehicle’s cigarette-lighter
socket using an optional DC adapter, such as Cat. No. 270-
1560 or 273-1810.

Cautions:
• The recommended DC adapters supply 3 volts and
deliver at least 300 milliamps. Their center tips are set to
negative, and their plugs correctly fit the SCP-98’s DC 3V
jack. Using a DC adapter that does not meet these spec-
ifications could damage the SCP-98 or the adapter.
• Always plug the DC adapter into the SCP-98 before you
plug it into the vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket, and
always unplug it from the cigarette-lighter before you
unplug it from the SCP-98.
• Unplug the adapter from your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter
socket when you turn off the ignition. This prevents your
vehicle’s battery from being drained if you leave the SCP-
98 on when you turn off the ignition.
Follow these steps to power the SCP-98 from your vehicle’s
battery power.
1. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 3V.

barrel plug onto the adapter cord’s smaller end so it
reads TIP–.
3. Insert the barrel plug into the SCP-98’s DC 3V jack.
4. Plug the DC adapter’s other end into the vehicle’s ciga-
rette-lighter socket. 12:00 AM appears.
CONNECTING HEADPHONES/
SPEAKERS
To listen to the cassette player, you need a pair of stereo
headphones or amplified speakers with a 1/8-inch plug. Your
local RadioShack store sells a wide variety of headphones
and amplified speakers.
Insert the stereo headphones’ or speakers’ 1/8-inch stereo
plug into the SCP-98’s PHONES jack.
