Connecting Power
You can power the CD-3322 from any of these power sources:
• Internal battery power, using eight
D batteries and two AA batteries
(not supplied — see “Using Bat-
teries”)
illustration
• AC power, using the supplied AC
power cord and a standard AC
outlet (see “Using AC Power” on
Page 8)
• Your vehicle’s cigarette lighter
socket, using an optional DC-to-
AC inverter (see “Using Vehicle
Battery Power” on Page 8)
2. Put the AA then the D batteries in
the compartment (on top of the
attached ribbon) as indicated by
the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside.
Caution: Do not mix old and new bat-
teries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
illustration
Using Batteries
You can power your CD-3322 with
eight D batteries (for normal operation)
and two AA batteries (for memory
backup). For the best results, we rec-
ommend alkaline batteries, such as
RadioShack Cat. No. 23-550 (D cells)
and 23-552/557 (AA cells).
3. Replace the cover.
Notes:
• If you do not plan to use the CD-
3322 with batteries for a week or
more, or if you plan to use only AC
or vehicle battery power, remove
the D batteries.
Caution: Only use fresh batteries of the
required size and type.
• To save any radio stations stored
in memory in case power is dis-
connected or interrupted, always
leave the AA batteries installed.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Press down and pull out on the
tabs at the top of the battery com-
partment to remove the cover.
• If the sound weakens or distorts,
or the CD-3322 does not operate
properly, replace the D batteries.
7
14-547.fm Page 8 Wednesday, June 30, 1999 4:23 PM
• Replace the AA batteries about
every 6 months, or more often if
power is frequently disconnected
or interrupted.
• Connecting the power cord to the
CD-3322 automatically discon-
nects the internal D batteries.
Using Vehicle Battery Power
• To easily remove the batteries,
pull up on the attached ribbon.
You can power the CD-3322 from your
vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket by
converting your vehicle’s DC power to
115V AC using an optional DC-to-AC
inverter, such as RadioShack Cat. No.
22-132.
Caution: Always dispose of old batter-
ies promptly and properly.
Using AC Power
To use AC power, plug the supplied
power cord into AC INPUT on the back
of the system, then plug the other end
into a standard AC outlet.
Follow the instructions included with
the inverter to connect it to your vehi-
cle’s cigarette lighter socket. Then plug
the CD-3322’s power cord into AC IN-
PUT and plug the other end into the
AC outlet on the inverter.
illustration
Caution: Always plug the power cord
into the CD-3322 before you plug it into
the inverter. Always unplug the power
cord from the inverter before you un-
plug it from the CD-3322.
Caution: Your system’s power cord has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). If you have difficulty in-
serting the plug into the outlet, do not
force it! Turn the plug over and try
again.
Note: If the CD-3322 hums when you
turn it off while using vehicle battery
power, this is not a malfunction. Simply
unplug the inverter from your vehicle’s
cigarette-lighter socket.
Notes:
• Always plug the power cord into
the CD-3322 before you plug it
into the AC outlet. Always unplug
the power cord from the outlet
before you unplug it from the CD-
3322.

Installing Batteries in the Remote
Control
• If you will not be using the remote
control for a month or more,
remove the batteries.
The remote control requires two AAA
batteries (not supplied) for power. For
the best performance and longest life,
we recommend alkaline batteries,
such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-555.
• To easily remove the batteries,
pull up on the attached ribbon.
• You can use the remote control up
to a distance of about 16 feet (5
meters), from an angle of up to
30° in front of the CD-3322. If it
does not operate properly within
this range, replace the remote
control’s batteries.
Caution: Always use fresh batteries of
the required size and type.
1. To open the battery compartment
cover, slide the cover in the direc-
tion of the arrow, then lift the cover
away from the compartment.

reo headphones (not supplied) to the
CD-3322. Your local RadioShack store
sells a wide selection of stereo head-
phones.
• Set the volume to the lowest set-
ting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust
the volume to a comfortable level.
To connect headphones, plug the
headphones’ /8-inch plug into the
PHONES jack on the back of the CD-
3322.
• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high-vol-
ume listening can lead to perma-
nent hearing loss.

• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a
volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your
hearing.
illustration
Traffic Safety
Do not wear headphones while operat-
ing a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
This can create a traffic hazard and
could be illegal in some areas.
Note: Connecting headphones auto-
matically disconnects the CD-3322’s
speakers.
Even though some headphones let
you hear some outside sounds when
listening at normal volume levels, they
still can present a traffic hazard.

CD and CD Player Care Tips
Cautions:
Although a CD is very durable, you
should handle it with care. We recom-
mend the following precautions.
• To avoid damaging the CD player,
do not place anything but a CD in
the CD compartment.
• Keep the CD in its protective case
or sleeve when you are not play-
ing it.
• Remove any loaded CD from the
CD compartment before moving
the system to avoid damaging the
CD.
• Keep the CD clean. Your local
RadioShack store sells a suitable
CD cleaner kit.
• Moving the CD-3322 suddenly
from a cold place to a warmer one
can cause moisture to form on the
CD player’s pickup lens and dis-
rupt operation. If this happens,
unplug the CD-3322, then wait
about an hour before plugging it
back in and playing a CD.
• Keep the CD dry. A drop of mois-
ture can act as a lens and affect
the laser beam’s focus. If it gets
wet, wipe the CD with a soft, dry
cloth before playing it.
• Do not write on either side of a
CD, especially the non-label side.
• Handle the CD by its edges to
avoid fingerprints and surface
scratches, which can prevent the
laser from accurately reading the
CD. If the CD gets scratched, use
Scratch ’n Fix (RadioShack Cat.
No. 42-127) to keep the CD from
skipping during play.
• Do not store CDs in high-tempera-
ture, high-humidity locations.
If the CD-3322 is subjected to a sud-
den shock or jolt during play, the CD’s
rotation speed might suddenly change,
and the music might be briefly inter-
rupted. This is not a malfunction.

1. Take up any slack in the cassette
tape by turning the hub with a
pencil. This prevents the tape
from tangling in the tape mecha-
nism. (Avoid touching the tape
with your fingers.)
4. Close the door.

Recording a Cassette Tape
Notes:
Recording from the Radio
Follow these steps to record onto a
cassette tape from any AM or FM radio
station.
• The CD-3322’s Automatic Level
Control (ALC) feature automati-
cally adjusts the recording level.
The settings of VOLUME, E-
BASS, BALANCE, and the preset
equalizer settings have no effect
on the recording.
1. Set FUNCTION to RADIO, then
select the desired band and sta-
tion.
2. Load a blank cassette tape, or
one you want to record over, into
the cassette deck, with the side
you want to record on facing you
and the full reel to the left.
• Tape quality greatly affects the
quality of the recording. We rec-
ommend regular length (60- or 90-
minute) cassette tapes. We do not
recommend long-play cassette
tapes, such as C-120s, because
they are thin and can easily tangle
in the cassette mechanism. For
low-noise, wide-range recordings,
use normal-bias tape.
3. Press
on the cassette deck.

sette tape’s erase-protection tabs
are in place. See “Preventing
Accidental Erasure” on Page 29.

Tape Tips
Erasing a Cassette Tape
To record over a cassette tape, simply record over the previous recording. To erase
the entire cassette tape, select a function with no audio (such as CD with no CD
playing) and let the tape record to the end.
Note: The tape you are recording over must be a normal bias-type tape.
To quickly erase a tape, you might prefer to use a bulk tape eraser (available at your
local RadioShack store).
Preventing Accidental Erasure
Cassette tapes have two erase-protection tabs — one for each side.
To protect a recording from being accidentally recorded over or erased, carefully
break off that side’s plastic tab with a screwdriver.
illustration
29
14-547.fm Page 30 Wednesday, June 30, 1999 4:23 PM
If you break off a tab and decide later that you want to record on that side of the tape,
carefully cover that side’s tab hole with a piece of adhesive tape.
Caution: Removing the erase-protection tape does not prevent a bulk eraser from
erasing a cassette tape.
Restoring Tape Tension and Sound Quality
After you play a cassette tape several times, the tape might become tightly wound
on the reels. This can cause playback sound quality to deteriorate.
To restore the sound quality, fast-forward the tape from the beginning to the end of
one side, then completely rewind it. Then loosen the tape reels by gently tapping
each side of the cassette’s outer shell on a flat surface.
Caution: Be careful not to damage the cassette when tapping it. Do not touch the
exposed tape or allow any sharp objects near the cassette.

Care and Maintenance
Your Optimus CD-3322 Portable Triple Play Compact Disc Player with AM/FM Ste-
reo Cassette Recorder is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The fol-
lowing suggestions will help you care for the CD-3322 so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the CD-3322 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the CD-3322 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the
circuit boards and can cause the CD-3322 to work improperly.
Use and store the CD-3322 only in normal temperature environ-
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devic-
es, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the CD-3322 away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-
ture wear of parts.
Wipe the CD-3322 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
CLEANER
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-
gents to clean the CD-3322.
Modifying or tampering with the CD-3322’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to oper-
ate it. If your CD-3322 is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.

The FCC Wants You to Know
This stereo system complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as specified
in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits provide reasonable protection against radio
and TV interference in a residential area. However, your stereo system might cause
TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To eliminate interference,
you can try one or more of the following corrective measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the distance between the stereo system and the radio or TV
• Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the stereo system and the radio or
TV
Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem still exists.

Cleaning the Tape-Handling Parts
Dirt, dust or particles of the tape’s coating can accumulate on the tape deck’s tape
heads and other parts that the tape touches. This can greatly reduce the perfor-
mance of the cassette player. Use the following cleaning procedure for the cassette
deck after every 20 hours of tape player operation.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Open the cassette compartment door.
3. Use a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol or tape head cleaning solution
to clean the record/play head, pinch roller, capstan, erase head, and tape
guides.

4. When you finish cleaning, close the cassette compartment door and reconnect
power.

plies.
