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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

• 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.
