PREPARATION  
Using Batteries  
CONNECTING POWER  
You can use six D batteries (not sup-  
plied) to power the CD-3330. For the  
best performance and longest life, we  
recommend alkaline batteries, available  
at you local RadioShack store.  
You can power your CD-3330 from ei-  
ther:  
• standard AC power (with the sup-  
plied power cord)  
• six D batteries (not supplied)  
Cautions:  
Note: Connecting the power cord dis-  
connects internal batteries.  
• Use only fresh batteries of the  
required size and recommended  
type.  
Using AC Power  
• Do not mix old and new batteries,  
different types of batteries (stan-  
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or  
rechargeable batteries of different  
capacities.  
To use AC power, plug the supplied  
power cord into the AC IN ~ jack on the  
back of the CD-3330. Then plug the oth-  
er end into a standard AC outlet.  
Hint: For the easiest battery installa-  
tion, turn the CD-3330 face down on  
a flat surface.  
Cautions:  
• The plug’s blades are polarized (one  
blade is wider than the other) and fit  
only one way. If the plug does not fit  
easily, turn it over and try again. Do  
not force it.  
1. Press down on the two tabs above  
the battery compartment cover and  
pull out the cover to remove it.  
• Always unplug the power cord from  
the AC outlet before you unplug it  
from the CD-3330.

14-508.fm Page 6 Wednesday, August 4, 1999 11:38 AM  
2. Install the batteries in the compart-  
ment and on top of the attached rib-  
bon, as indicated by the polarity  
symbols (+ and –) marked on the  
lower left corner of the back of the  
CD-3330.  
USING HEADPHONES  
For listening privately, you can connect  
a pair of stereo headphones (not sup-  
1
plied) with a /8-inch (3.5-mm) plug into  
the PHONES jack. Your local Ra-  
dioShack store carries a wide selection  
of stereo headphones.  
3. Replace the cover.  
Note: Connecting headphones automat-  
ically disconnects the built-in speaker.  
When the CD-3330’s sound weakens or  
distorts, replace the batteries.  
Listening Safely  
Cautions:  
To protect your hearing, follow these  
guidelines when you use headphones.  
• Dispose of old batteries promptly  
and properly. Do not burn or bury  
them.  
• Set the volume to the lowest setting  
before you begin listening. After you  
begin listening, adjust the volume to  
a comfortable level.  
• If you do not plan to use the CD-  
3330 with batteries for a month or  
more, or if you plan to use only AC  
power, remove the batteries. Batter-  
ies can leak chemicals that can  
destroy electronic parts.  
• Do not listen at extremely high vol-  
ume levels. Extended high-volume  
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 vol-  
ume level that does not cause dis-  
comfort might still damage your  
hearing.

AUTOMATIC SEARCH  
MUSIC SYSTEM  
CD CARE TIPS  
Even though a compact disc is durable,  
treat the CD surface with care.  
The automatic search music system lets  
you quickly locate the beginning of any  
track on the CD, including the track cur-  
rently playing.  
• Do not write on either side of the  
CD, particularly the non-label side  
(signals are read from the non-label  
side).  
If the CD is playing:  
• Do not store CDs in high tempera-  
ture, high-humidity locations. They  
might warp.  
• Press  
to return to the beginning  
of the current track.  
• Press  
again to skip to the

focus.  
beginning of the previous track.  
• Press to skip to the beginning  
of the next track.  
If the CD is stopped, repeatedly press  
(or hold down) or until the dis-  
play shows the number of the track you  
want to play, then press PLAY/  
• Always handle a CD by the edges to  
avoid fingerprints and always keep it  
in its protective case or sleeve when  
it is not in use. Fingerprints and  
scratches on the CD’s surface can  
prevent the laser beam from cor-  
rectly reading the digital information.  
If the CD gets scratched, use  
Scratch’n Fix (Cat. No. 42-127) to  
repair the disc.  
PAUSE. The CD player starts playing the  
selected track.  
To search backward or forward within a  
track while the CD is playing, hold down  
either  
or  
. You hear the track  
play rapidly and at a lower volume. Re-  
lease the button to resume normal play.

Tape quality greatly affects the qual-  
ity of the recording. We recommend  
regular length (60- or 90-minute)  
cassette tapes. We do not recom-  
mend long-play cassette tapes such  
as C-120s because they are thin  
and can easily tangle. For low-noise,  
wide-range recordings, use normal-  
bias tape.  
If you want to begin recording on  
another track besides the first, press

TAPE TIPS  
Erasing a Cassette Tape  
Note: Removing erase-protection tabs  
does not prevent a bulk eraser from  
erasing a cassette tape.  
To erase a previously recorded tape,  
simply record over it. To erase the entire  
cassette tape, set TAPE/RADIO/CD to CD  
and do not load a CD. Then start record-  
ing and let the tape record to the end.  
Or, set TAPE/RADIO/CD to TAPE and  
Restoring Tape Tension and  
Sound Quality  
press RECORD  
.
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 quickly erase both sides of a cas-  
sette tape, use a bulk tape eraser, avail-  
able at your local RadioShack store.  
To restore the sound quality, fast-for-  
ward the tape from the beginning to the  
end of one side, then completely rewind  
it. Loosen the tape reels by gently tap-  
ping each side of the cassette’s outer  
shell on a flat surface.  
Preventing Accidental Erasure  
Cassette tapes have two erase-protec-  
tion tabs — one for each side. To pro-  
tect a recording from being accidentally  
recorded over or erased, use a screw-  
Caution: Be careful not to damage the  
cassette when tapping it. Do not touch  
the exposed tape or allow any sharp ob-  
jects near the cassette.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack Optimus CD-3330 Portable CD Player is an example of superior  
design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your CD-  
3330 so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the CD-3330 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids  
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Use and store the CD-3330 only in normal temperature environments.  
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-  
age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the CD-3330 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature  
wear of parts.  
Handle the CD-3330 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-  
cuit boards and cases and can cause the CD-3330 to work improperly.  
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.  
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your CD-3330’s electronic  
parts.  
Wipe the CD-3330 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-3330.  
Modifying or tampering with the CD-3330’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-3330 is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack  
store for assistance.

5. Use a cotton swab dipped in dena-  
tured alcohol or tape head cleaning  
solution to clean the tape guides,  
record/play head, erase head, pinch  
roller, and capstan.  
Cleaning the Tape-Handling  
Parts  
Dirt, dust or particles of the tape’s coat-  
ing can accumulate on the tape heads  
and other parts that the tape touches.  
This can greatly reduce the performance  
of the cassette player. After every 20  
hours of tape player operation, use a  
cassette deck cleaning kit (Cat. No. 44-  
1202), or follow these steps to clean the  
tape-handling parts.  
1. Remove the batteries and discon-  
nect AC power.  
When you finish cleaning, press STOP/  
2. Open the cassette compartment  
door.  
EJECT  
and close the cassette com-  
partment door. Then reconnect power.  
3. With the eraser end of a pencil, gen-  
tly press down on the erase protec-  
tion tab sensor.  
Your local RadioShack store sells a  
complete line of cassette deck cleaning  
supplies.  
4. While holding down the erase pro-  
tection tab sensor, press RECORD  
to expose the tape-handling  
parts.
