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.

Using Headphones  
Listening Safely  
To listen without disturbing others, you  
can connect a pair of /8-inch plug ste-  
To protect your hearing, follow these  
guidelines when you use headphones.  
1
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.  
1
• 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.

Cassette Deck Operation  
The CD-3322’s cassette deck lets you  
play cassette tapes or record from the  
radio or CD player.  
illustration  
Note: You cannot operate the cassette  
deck using the remote control.  
Loading a Tape  
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.

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

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.
