PREPARATION
CONNECTING POWER
You can power the CD-3318 from any of the following:
• AC power using the supplied AC power cord
• Eight D batteries (not supplied)
• Vehicle battery power using a DCto-AC inverter (not supplied)
Using AC Power
To power the CD-3318 from standard
AC power, plug the supplied AC power cord into the
AC IN~
jack, then plug the other end into a standard AC outlet.
Using Batteries
You can power the CD-3318 from eight
D batteries (not supplied). For the best results, we recommend alkaline batteries (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-
550).
Caution: The supplied AC power cord has a polarized plug that fits into the outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit properly, turn it over and try again. Do not force it.
Note: The CD-3318 automatically disconnects internal batteries when you connect the AC power cord.
1. Press the two latches on the battery compartment cover and pull out the cover to remove it.
2. Place the eight D batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked next to the battery compartment.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.
• Never mix old with new batteries.
• If you do not plan to use the batteries in the CD-3318 for a month or more, remove the batteries to protect the CD-3318 from possible battery leakage.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
5
14-542.fm Page 6 Wednesday, June 30, 1999 3:38 PM
If the CD-3318 does not operate properly or if the sound weakens or distorts, replace the batteries.
Cautions:
• Always dispose of the old batteries promptly and properly.
• Never leave dead, old, or weak batteries in the CD-3318. They can leak chemicals and corrode or damage electronic circuits.
Using Your Vehicle’s Battery
You can power the CD-3318 from your vehicle’s battery using a DC-to-AC inverter (such as Radio Shack Cat. No.
22-132, not supplied).
Cautions:
• To protect your vehicle’s electrical system, always plug the AC power cord into
AC IN~
and the inverter before you plug the inverter into the cigarette lighter socket.
Always unplug the inverter from the cigarette lighter socket before you unplug the AC power cord
AC IN~
and the inverter.
• The recommended inverter supplies 120 volts AC power and delivers at least 315 milliamps.
Using an inverter that does not meet these specifications could damage the CD-3318.
1. Plug the supplied power cord into the
AC IN~
jack on the back of the
CD-3318.
2. Plug the AC power cord into the power inverter’s AC jack.
3. Plug the power inverter into your car’s cigarette lighter socket.
Note: If the CD-3318 does not operate properly when you use the inverter, unplug the inverter from the cigarette lighter socket and clean the socket to remove ashes and debris. Also, check the AC power cord for proper connection. If it still does not operate properly, check the fuse in the inverter.

14-542.fm Page 7 Wednesday, June 30, 1999 3:38 PM
USING HEADPHONES
For private listening, you can connect a pair of stereo headphones (not supplied) with a
1
/
8
-inch plug. Your local
Radio Shack store carries a wide selection of stereo headphones.
To connect the headphones, insert the headphones’
1
/
8
-inch plug into the
PHONES
jack.
Note: Connecting the headphones automatically disconnects the built-in speaker.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended highvolume listening can lead to permanent 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.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.
Even though some headphones are designed to let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still present a traffic hazard.

CD CARE TIPS
Even though a compact disc is very durable, treat the CD surface with care. We recommend the following precautions:
• Do not place anything but a CD in the disc tray. This can damage the drive mechanism.
• Do not write on either side of the
CD, particularly the non-label side. (Signals are read from the non-label side.)
• Do not store CDs in high-temperature, high-humidity locations. The
CDs might warp.
• Keep CDs dry. A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser beam’s focus.
• Always handle a CD by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the
CD and always keep it in its protective case or sleeve when not in use. Fingerprints and scratches on the CD’s surface can prevent the laser beam from correctly reading the digital information. To clean the CD surface, use a CD
Cleaner Kit (such as Cat. No. 42-
225).
• If you move the player from a cold place to a warmer one, moisture might condense on the pickup lens, preventing proper disc play.
If this happens, wait 2 hours before attempting to operate it again.

Tape 2 to a tape in Tape 1.
Notes:
• Before recording, be sure the erase-protection tabs are in place on the cassette tape you are recording onto (see “Preventing
Accidental Erasure”).
• Before you load a cassette tape for recording, turn the cassette’s hub with your finger or a pencil to move the tape past its leader.

TAPE CARE TIPS
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, use a screwdriver to remove one or both of the cassette tape’s erase-protection tabs.
If you want to record over a tape side after you have removed the erase-protection tab, place a piece of strong plastic tape over that side’s erase-protection hole.
Notes:
• Be sure you cover only the hole originally covered by the eraseprotection tab.
• Removing the erase-protection tabs does not prevent a bulk eraser from erasing a cassette tape.
Erasing a Cassette Tape
If you no longer want a recording, you can record over it or erase it.
• To erase the entire cassette tape, record silence by setting the
RADIO.CD OFF
switch to
TAPE
or
CD
(with no other tape or CD loaded) and press
RECORD
on
Tape 1.
• To quickly erase a tape, use a bulk tape eraser (such as Radio
Shack Cat. No. 44-232, not supplied).
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 Radio Shack CD-3318 is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.
The following suggestions will help you care for the CD-3318 so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the CD-3318 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Water contains minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.
Handle the CD-3318 carefully. Dropping it can damage the case and circuit boards and cause the CD-3318 to work improperly.
Use the CD-3318 only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt plastic parts.
Keep the CD-3318 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
