CD-3318 Portable CD Boom Box w/ Double Cassette Recorder and AM/FM Stereo (140-0542) Operation Faxback Doc. # 32444 USING HEADPHONES For private listening, you can connect a pair of stereo headphones (not supplied) with a 1/8-inch plug. Your local Radio Shack store carries a wide selection of stereo headphones. To connect the headphones, insert the headphones' 1/8-inch plug into the PHONES jack. NOTE: Connecting the headphones automatically disconnects the built-in speaker. LISTENING SAFELY To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use 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 discomfort might still damage your hearing. TRAFFIC SAFETY Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. Even though some headphones are designed to let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still present a traffic hazard. RADIO OPERATION WARNING: To protect your hearing, set VOLUME to its lowest setting before you turn on the radio. Follow these steps to use the radio. 1. Set RADIO.CD OFF to RADIO to turn on the radio. The POWER indicator lights. 2. Set BAND to FM or AM. 3. Adjust TUNING to the desired station. 4. Set BEAT CUT to 1 or 2 for stereo sound on FM stations. NOTES: The FM-STEREO indicator lights when you receive an FM signal in stereo. If FM stereo reception is noisy, set BEAT CUT to 0. The sound is no longer in stereo, but reception should improve. For the best AM reception, rotate the CD-3318 to position the built-in AM antenna. For the best FM reception, fully extend the telescoping antenna and swivel it to the position that produces the best reception. 5. Adjust VOLUME and TONE to the desired levels. 6. Press E-BASS to enhance the bass sounds while playing the radio. Press the button again to turn the extended bass system off. 7. Set RADIO.CD OFF to TAPE to turn off the radio.

CD CARE TIPS Even though a compact disc is very durable, treat the CD surface with care. We recommend the following precautions: Do not place anything but a CD in the disc tray. This can damage the drive mechanism. Do not write on either side of the CD, particularly the non-label side. (Signals are read from the non-label side.) Do not store CDs in high-temperature, high-humidity locations. The CDs might warp. Keep CDs dry. A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser beam's focus. Always handle a CD by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the CD and always keep it in its protective case or sleeve when not in use. Fingerprints and scratches on the CD's surface can prevent the laser beam from correctly reading the digital information. To clean the CD surface, use a CD Cleaner Kit (such as Cat. No. 42-225). If you move the player from a cold place to a warmer one, moisture might condense on the pickup lens, preventing proper disc play. If this happens, wait 2 hours before attempting to operate it again.
