Your Optimus SCP-103 Digital Tuning AM/FM Stereo Auto-
Reverse Cassette Player delivers excellent sound from its
built-in radio or your favorite cassette tapes, using your
speakers or stereo headphones (not supplied). You can set
the time on the cassette player's display, set an alarm to
sound, and store up to 20 radio stations in memory. The tun-
er's PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) circuitry gives you precise tun-
ing and drift-free reception.
Its features include:
Auto-Reverse Cassette Deck — lets you continuously play
a cassette tape.
AM/FM Radio with 20-Station Memory — lets you store up
to 20 radio stations (10 FM and 10 AM) in memory so you
can quickly tune to your favorite stations.
LCD with Clock and Alarm — displays the current time and
lets you set the SCP-103 to sound an alarm at the time you
select.
Seek Tuning — searches forward or backward to the next
strong station in the selected band so you can quickly find
new stations.
BASS ON/OFF Switch — lets you emphasize bass sounds
to suit your listening preferences.

Jack — lets you connect headphones for private listen-
ing, or speakers to share the sound with others.
Three Power Options — let you power the SCP-103 from in-
ternal batteries, standard AC power (with an optional AC
adapter), or your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket (with an
optional DC adapter).
Removable Belt Clip — lets you attach the SCP-103 to your
belt for hands-free carrying when you are on the go.
Key Lock — lets you lock any of the other front panel keys,
to prevent you from accidentally turning the radio on or off,
resetting the clock time, or losing radio stations stored in
memory.
Note: You need a pair of headphones or amplified speakers
(neither supplied) with a 1/8-inch plug to operate your SCP-
103. Your local RadioShack store sells a wide variety of
headphones and speakers.

PREPARATION
USING THE BELT CLIP
To attach the belt clip, align the
tab on the back of the clip with
the recess on the back of the
case, then slide the clip up until
it snaps into place.
To remove the belt clip, press
the upper part of the clip and
slide it down.
POWERING THE SCP-103
You can power your SCP-103 from any of three power sourc-
es:
• internal batteries (not supplied)
• standard AC power (with an optional AC adapter)
• your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket (with an optional
DC adapter)
Note: Connecting an optional adapter disconnects internal
batteries.

Using Batteries
You can power your SCP-103 from two AA batteries (not sup-
plied). We recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries. You
can also use rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. If you
use rechargeable batteries, you also need a battery charger
(not supplied, available at your local RadioShack store).
Cautions:
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of bat-
teries (standard, alkaline, and nickel-cadmium), or
rechargeable batteries of different capacities in the SCP-
103.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Press down on the battery
compartment cover and
slide it in the direction of the
arrow, then lift it up on its
hinge to open it.
2. Install the batteries as indi-
cated by the polarity sym-
bols (+ and –) marked
inside.
3. Replace the cover.
Note: If your SCP-103 locks up, remove one of the batteries,
then reinstall it.

Replace the batteries when the low battery icon flashes on
the display, the sound distorts, or the volume weakens.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do
not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the SCP-103 for a month
or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.
Important: At the end of a nickel-cadmium battery’s useful
life, it must be recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your
local, county, or state hazardous waste management authori-
ties 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 AC Power
You can power the SCP-103 using a 3V, 300 mA AC adapter
and a size H Adaptaplug®(neither supplied). Both are avail-
able at your local RadioShack store.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power source that sup-
plies 3V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its
center tip must be set to positive and its plug
must fit the SCP-103's DC 3V jack. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications could damage the
SCP-103 or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the SCP-103 before
you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect
the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from
the SCP-103.
Follow these steps to connect an AC adapter to the SCP-103.
1. Set the adapter's voltage switch to 3V.
2. Insert the Adaptaplug into the AC
adapter's socket. Line up TIP on
the plug with +POS on the socket.
3. Insert the barrel plug into the
SCP-103's
DC 3V jack.
4. Plug the AC adapter into a stan-
dard AC outlet.

Using Your Vehicle's Cigarette-Lighter Socket
You can power the SCP-103 from a vehicle’s 12V power
source (such as cigarette-lighter socket) using a 3V, 300-mA
DC adapter and a size H Adaptaplug®(neither supplied).
Both are available at your local RadioShack store.
Cautions:
You must use a power source that supplies 3V
DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip
must be set to positive and its plug must fit the
SCP-103's DC 3V jack. Using an adapter that does not
meet these specifications could damage the SCP-103 or
the adapter.
• Always connect the DC adapter to the SCP-103 before
you connect it to the power source. When you finish, dis-
connect the adapter from the power source before you
disconnect it from the SCP-103.
Follow these steps to power the SCP-103 from your vehicle's
cigarette-lighter socket.
1. Set the adapter's voltage
switch to 3V.
2. Insert the Adaptaplug into the
DC adapter's socket. Line up
positive (+) on the plug with
TIP on the socket.

3. Insert the plug into the SCP-103's DC 3V jack.
4. Plug the adapter into the vehicle's cigarette-lighter
socket.
Note: If the SCP-103 does not operate when you turn it on,
remove the DC adapter from your vehicle's cigarette-lighter
socket and check the socket for debris. Also, check the fuse
in the adapter and your vehicle's fuse block.
SETTING THE CLOCK
1. In the time mode, press MEMORY/CLOCK. The currently
set time flashes.
Note: If you do not press HOUR or MIN within 5 seconds,
the currently set time stops flashing. If that happens,
repeat this step.
2. Repeatedly press HOUR until the display shows the cor-
rect hour. To rapidly advance the hours, hold down
HOUR.
