42-5077.fm Page 9 Thursday, August 12, 1999 1:12 PM
You cannot charge standard nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries
inside the CD player’s battery compartment, but you can charge them
using an external battery charger such as Cat. No. 23-133 (not sup-
plied).
Note: All types of nickel-cadmium batteries come fully discharged. Be
sure to fully charge the batteries before you use them the first time.
Installing Batteries
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
Follow these steps to install the batteries.
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow, then
gently pull up on the cover to open it.
Caution: The battery compartment cover is attached to the CD
player. Do not try to remove it.

When
flashes, the sound distorts, or the volume weakens, replace
or recharge the batteries.
Cautions:
• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury
them.
• Always remove or recharge old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
• If you do not plan to use the CD player with batteries for a month or
more, or if you plan to use only an AC or DC adapter, remove the bat-
teries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
Recharging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries
If you connect an AC or DC adapter to the CD player, you can set the
CD player to charge special nickel-cadmium batteries while they are in-
side the battery compartment.
Caution: Use only an AC adapter or DC adapter that meets the specifica-
tions in “Using AC Power” on Page 12 or “Using Vehicle Battery Power”
on Page 14 to recharge the batteries in the CD player. Other adapters
could damage your CD player or the batteries.

Charging Tips/Facts
• It takes about 15 hours to charge new or fully discharged nickel-
cadmium batteries (special or standard) in the CD player while it is
not being used to play CDs. Subsequent charges take 12–15 hours.
• You can play a CD while recharging the special nickel-cadmium bat-
teries. However, this will cause the batteries to recharge more slowly.
• Under normal usage conditions, nickel-cadmium batteries can be
recharged about 500 times.

42-5077.fm Page 12 Thursday, August 12, 1999 1:12 PM
• Fully discharge the batteries occasionally by playing the CD player
until it no longer plays. Then fully recharge the batteries. This helps
maintain the batteries’ full charging capacity.
• Important: This CD player is capable of using rechargeable nickel-
cadmium batteries. At the end of the batteries’ useful life, they must
be recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your local, county, or
state hazardous waste management authorities for information on
recycling or disposal programs in your area. Some options that might
be available are: municipal curb-side 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 CD player from a standard AC outlet using an optional
AC adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1664.
Cautions:
• You must use an AC adapter that supplies 4.5 volts and delivers at
least 550 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit
the CD player’s 4.5V jack. The recommended adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifica-
tions could damage the CD player or the adapter.
• Always plug the AC adapter into the CD player before you plug it into
the AC outlet. Always unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet
before you unplug it from the CD player.

Using Vehicle Battery Power
You can power your CD player from your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket
using an optional 4.5 volt DC adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1801.
Cautions:
• You must use a DC adapter that supplies 4.5 volts and delivers at
least 550 mA of automotive power. Its center tip must be set to posi-
tive and its plug must fit the CD player’s 4.5V jack. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifications could damage the CD player
or the adapter.
• Always plug the DC adapter into the CD player before you plug it
into the cigarette-lighter socket. Always unplug the DC adapter
from the cigarette-lighter socket before you unplug it from the CD
player.

Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use earphones
or 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 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 volume level that does not cause dis-
comfort might still damage your hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear earphones or headphones while operating a motor vehicle or
riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in
some areas.
Even though some earphones or headphones let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a
traffic hazard.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus CD-3720 Portable Compact Disc Player is an example of
superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help
you care for your CD player so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the CD player dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediate-
ly. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the elec-
tronic circuits.
Use and store the CD player only in normal temperature en-
vironments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt
plastic parts.
Keep the CD player away from dust and dirt, which can
cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the CD player gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the CD
player to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recom-
mended type. Batteries can leak chemicals that damage
your CD player’s electronic parts.

• Do not place anything but a CD in the disc tray. Doing so can damage
the drive mechanism.
• During playback, a severe shock or jolt could make the CD’s rotation
speed change suddenly and produce some noise. This is not a mal-
function.
• A scratch on the CD’s surface can make the CD skip or stop playing.
If the CD gets scratched, use Scratch ’n Fix (Cat. No. 42-127) to
repair the scratch.
• Always handle a CD by the edges and keep it in its protective case or
sleeve when it is not in use. Fingerprints and scratches on the CD’s

information. To clean the CD, use a CD cleaner kit (such as Cat. No.
42-226).
• Keep CDs dry. A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser
beam focus.
