CD-3316 Portable AM/FM Stereo/Cassette/CD Player (140-0540) Power Sources Faxback Doc. # 19766 USING AC POWER To power the CD-3316 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. 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-3316 automatically disconnects internal batteries when you connect the AC power cord. USING BATTERIES You can power the CD-3316 from 6 D batteries (not supplied). For the best results, we recommend alkaline batteries (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-550). If the CD-3316 does not operate properly or if the sound weakens or distorts, replace the batteries. 1. Press the two latches on the battery compartment cover and pull out the cover in the direction of the arrows to remove it. 2. Remove the old batteries. CAUTIONS: Always dispose of the old batteries promptly and properly. Never leave dead, old, or weak batteries in the CD-3316. They can leak chemicals and corrode or damage electronic circuits. 3. Place 6 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 batteries in the CD-3316 for a month or more, remove the batteries to protect the CD-3316 from possible battery leakage. 4. Replace the battery compartment cover. USING YOUR CAR BATTERY You can power the CD-3316 from your car battery using a DC-to AC Inverter (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 22-132, not supplied). CAUTIONS: 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 from AC IN~ or the inverter. 1. Plug the supplied AC power cord into the AC IN~ jack on the back of the CD-3316. 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-3316 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. (br/all-03/04/96)
