The Radio Shack CD-3316 Portable AM/FM Stereo/Single Cassette Deck/CD
Player is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following
suggestions will help you care for the CD-3316 so you can enjoy it for
years.

    Keep the CD-3316 dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Water
    contains minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.

    Use the CD-3316 only in normal temperature environments.  Temperature
    extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries,
    and warp or melt the case.

    Handle the CD-3316 carefully.  Dropping it can damage the case and
    circuit boards and cause the product to work improperly.

    Keep the CD-3316 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
    wear of parts.

    Wipe the CD-3316 occasionally with a damp cloth to keep it looking
    new.  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
    detergents to clean the CD-3316.

    Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.  Always remove
    old or weak batteries.  They can leak chemicals that destroy elec-
    tronic circuits.

Modifying or tampering with the CD-3316's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC author-
ization to operate it.  If your CD-3316 is not performing as it should,
take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.

    compartment door.
