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).

PHONES Jack — lets you connect headphones for private lis-

tening, or speakers to share the sound with others.

Seek Tuning — searches forward or backward to the next

strong station in the selected band so you can quickly find new

stations.

Lock — lets you lock the SCP-98’s controls to avoid acciden-

tally changing the station you are listening to, replacing a

stored station, or setting the time or alarm.

Removable Belt Clip — lets you attach the SCP-98 to your

belt for hands-free carrying almost anywhere you go.

Note: To listen to your cassette player, you need a pair of

headphones or speakers with a 1/8-inch plug. Your local

RadioShack store sells a wide variety of headphones and

speakers.

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.

14-1245.fm Page 6 Monday, January 29, 2001 10:03 AM

• 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.

14-1245.fm Page 7 Monday, January 29, 2001 10:03 AM

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.

(illus)

14-1245.fm Page 8 Monday, January 29, 2001 10:03 AM

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.

2. Put the 3.4 mm outer diameter/1.3 mm inner diameter

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.
