CD CARE TIPS  
the CD player’s control settings during  
play and preserves battery life by lock-  
ing most controls.  
Even though a CD is very durable, you  
should handle it with care.  
• Keep the CD inside the CD player or  
in its protective case or sleeve when  
you are not playing it.  
Three Power Sources  
— let you power  
your CD player from two standard or re-  
chargeable nickel-cadmium AA batteries  
(not supplied), your vehicle’s battery us-  
ing the supplied DC adapter, or standard  
AC power using an optional AC adapter.  
• Handle a CD by its edges to avoid  
fingerprints that can prevent the CD  
player’s laser beam from accurately  
reading the CD. Your local Ra-  
dioShack store sells a suitable CD  
cleaner kit.  
5- or 3-Inch CD Compatible  
— lets you  
play either size CDs on your CD player.  
• Do not write on either side of the  
CD, particularly the non-label side.  
(Signals are read from the non-label  
side.)  
Important:  
You need a pair of stereo  
headphones, earphones, or amplified  
speakers, or a home audio or autosound  
system to use your CD player. Your lo-  
cal RadioShack store carries a complete  
line of headphones, earphones, speak-  
ers, and audio systems.  
• Keep the CD dry. A water drop can  
act as a lens and affect the laser  
beam’s focus.  
• Never use chemicals such as record  
cleaning sprays, anti-static sprays  
or fluids, benzene, or thinner to  
clean CDs. These chemicals will  
permanently damage the plastic  
surface of the CD.  
CDs that can be played on this CD play-  
er have this mark on them:  
• If a CD skips when you try to play  
it, the CD might be scratched. Your  
local RadioShack store sells a  
Scratch ’n Fix kit that might stop  
the skip. Also see “Troubleshooting”  
on Page 17.  
The CD player’s advanced technology  
makes it simple to operate. But, be sure  
you read this Owner’s Manual complete-  
ly so you can take advantage of all its  
advanced features.

POWERING THE CD PLAYER  
Note:  
You can power your CD player from any  
of these sources:  
Before you use the CD player with  
nickel-cadmium batteries, you need to  
charge them, either in an external bat-  
tery charger (available at your local Ra-  
dioShack store) or in the CD player (see  
“Recharging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries”  
on Page 7).  
• two AA alkaline batteries (not sup-  
plied)  
• two rechargeable AA nickel-  
cadmium batteries (not supplied)  
• vehicle battery power using the sup-  
plied DC adapter  
Follow these steps to install the batter-  
ies.  
• standard AC power using an AC  
adapter (not supplied)  
Note:  
The CD player senses whether or  
not the batteries you install are re-  
chargeable, and turns on the charging  
circuit or disconnects the batteries ac-  
cordingly.  
1. Press down on the battery compart-  
ment cover and slide it in the direc-  
tion of the arrow on the cover, then  
lift the cover.  
USING BATTERIES  
Your CD player can use two AA batter-  
ies (not supplied) for power. For the best  
performance and longest life, we recom-  
mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.  
Caution:  
The battery compartment  
cover is attached to the CD player.  
Do not try to remove it.  
2. Put two AA alkaline or nickel-  
cadmium batteries in the battery  
compartment, as indicated by the  
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked  
outside.  
You can also use rechargeable nickel-  
cadmium batteries to power your CD  
player.  
Cautions:  
3. Close the battery compartment  
cover.  
• Use only fresh batteries of the  
required size and recommended  
type.

more, remove the batteries. Batteries  
can leak chemicals that can destroy  
electronic parts.  
3. It takes about 14 hours to charge  
new or fully discharged nickel-  
cadmium batteries. Subsequent  
charges take 2–3 hours.  
Recharging Nickel-Cadmium  
Batteries  
If you connect the supplied DC adapter  
(see “Using Vehicle Battery Power” on  
Page 8) or an AC adapter (see “Using  
AC Power” on Page 8) to the CD player,  
nickel-cadmium batteries automatically  
charge while they are inside the CD  
player’s battery compartment.  
When the batteries are fully  
charged, disconnect the AC or DC  
adapter.  
Important:

er can use Ni-Cd re-  
chargeable batteries. At  
the end of a Ni-Cd bat-

or state hazardous waste management  
authorities for information on recycling  
or disposal programs in your area or call

might be available are: municipal curb-  
side collection, drop-off boxes at retail-  
ers such as your local RadioShack  
store, recycling collection centers, and  
mail-back programs.  
• Do not use the CD player or open  
the CD compartment cover while  
you are charging nickel-cadmium  
batteries.

more efficiently if the temperature is  
above 40°F (4.5°C) and below 90°F  
(32°C).  
Follow these steps to charge RSU  
11672508 Ni-Cd batteries in the CD

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your Optimus CD-3860 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 immediately. Liquids  
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Use and store the CD player 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 player away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-  
ture wear of parts.  
Handle the CD player gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-  
cuit boards and cases and can cause the CD player to work improper-  
ly.  
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.  
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your CD player’s electronic  
parts.  
Wipe the CD player 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 player.  
Modifying or tampering with the CD player’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 player is not performing as it should, take it to your local  
RadioShack store for assistance.
