USING BATTERIES

You can power the CD-3318 from eight D batteries (not supplied).  For the
best results, we recommend alkaline batteries (such as Radio Shack Cat. No.
23-550).

  1.  Press the two latches on the battery compartment cover and pull out
      the cover to remove it.

  2.  Place the eight 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 the batteries in the CD-3318 for a
           month or more, remove the batteries to protect the CD-3318 from
           possible battery leakage.

  3.  Replace the battery compartment cover.

If the CD-3318 does not operate properly or if the sound weakens or
distorts, replace the batteries.

CAUTIONS:  Always dispose of the old batteries promptly and properly.

           Never leave dead, old, or weak batteries in the CD-3318.  They
           can leak chemicals and corrode or damage electronic circuits.

USING YOUR VEHICLE'S BATTERY

You can power the CD-3318 from your vehicle's battery using a DC-to-AC
inverter (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 22-132, not supplied).

CAUTIONS:  To protect your vehicle's electrical system, 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- and the inverter.

           The recommended inverter supplies 120 volts AC power and
           delivers at least 315 milliamps.  Using an inverter that does
           not meet these specifications could damage the CD-3318.

  1.  Plug the supplied power cord into the AC IN- jack on the back of the
      CD-3318.

  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-3318 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.
