PREPARATION  
Using Batteries  
CONNECTING POWER  
You can power the CD-3318 from eight  
D batteries (not supplied). For the best  
results, we recommend alkaline batter-  
ies (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-  
550).  
You can power the CD-3318 from any  
of the following:  
• AC power using the supplied AC  
power cord  
• Eight D batteries (not supplied)  
• Vehicle battery power using a DC-  
to-AC inverter (not supplied)  
Using AC Power  
To power the CD-3318 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.  
1. Press the two latches on the bat-  
tery 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:  
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.  
• Use only fresh batteries of the  
required size and type.  
• Never mix old with new batter-  
ies.  
• If you do not plan to use the  
batteries in the CD-3318 for a  
month or more, remove the bat-  
teries to protect the CD-3318  
from possible battery leakage.  
Note: The CD-3318 automatically dis-  
connects internal batteries when you  
connect the AC power cord.  
3. Replace the battery compartment  
cover.  
5
14-542.fm Page 6 Wednesday, June 30, 1999 3:38 PM  
If the CD-3318 does not operate prop-  
erly or if the sound weakens or distorts,  
replace the batteries.  
Cautions:  
• Always dispose of the old batter-  
ies promptly and properly.  
• Never leave dead, old, or weak  
batteries in the CD-3318. They  
can leak chemicals and corrode or  
damage electronic circuits.

You can power the CD-3318 from your  
vehicle’s battery using a DC-to-AC in-  
verter (such as Radio Shack Cat. No.  
22-132, not supplied).  
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.  
Cautions:  
To protect your vehicle’s electrical  
system, always plug the AC power  
Note: If the CD-3318 does not operate  
properly when you use the inverter, un-  
plug the inverter from the cigarette  
lighter socket and clean the socket to  
remove ashes and debris. Also, check

tion. If it still does not operate properly,  
check the fuse in the inverter.

Listening Safely  
USING HEADPHONES  
To protect your hearing, follow these  
guidelines when you use headphones.  
For private listening, you can connect  
a pair of stereo headphones (not sup-  
plied) with a /8-inch plug. Your local  
Radio Shack store carries a wide se-  
lection of stereo headphones.  
1
• Set the volume to the lowest set-  
ting before you begin listening.  
After you begin listening, adjust  
the volume to a comfortable level.  
To connect the headphones, insert the  
headphones’ 1/8-inch plug into the  
• Do not listen at extremely high  
volume levels. Extended high-  
volume listening can lead to  
permanent hearing loss.  
PHONES  
jack.  
• 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  
Note: Connecting the headphones au-  
tomatically disconnects the built-in  
speaker.  
Do not wear headphones while operat-  
ing 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 vol-  
ume levels, they still present a traffic  
hazard.

PLAY/PAUSE  
. The CD player se-  
lects and plays each of the tracks ran-  
domly. After all of the tracks have  
played once, the CD player automati-  
cally stops.  
• 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-tempera-  
ture, 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.  
Using DISPLAY  
• Always handle a CD by the edges  
to avoid getting fingerprints on the  
CD and always keep it in its pro-  
tective 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).  
During play, if you press DISPLAY  
once, the display shows the number of  
tracks and time remaining on the CD.  
Press it again to see the total number  
of tracks and playing time of the disc.  
Press it once more to return to the dis-  
play showing the current track number  
and the elapsed track time.  
• 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.

TAPE CARE TIPS  
Preventing Accidental  
Erasure  
Cassette tapes have two erase-protec-  
tiontabsoneforeachside.Toprotect  
a recording from being accidentally re-  
corded over or erased, use a screwdriv-  
er to remove one or both of the cassette  
tape’s erase-protection tabs.  
Erasing a Cassette Tape  
If you no longer want a recording, you  
can record over it or erase it.  
To erase the entire cassette tape,  
record silence by setting the  
RADIO.CD OFF  
CD  
TAPE  
or  
switch to  
(with no other tape or CD  
RECORD  
loaded) and press  
Tape 1.  
on  
To quickly erase a tape, use a  
bulk tape eraser (such as Radio  
Shack Cat. No. 44-232, not sup-  
plied).  
If you want to record over a tape side  
after you have removed the erase-pro-  
tection tab, place a piece of strong  
plastic tape over that side’s erase-pro-  
tection hole.  
Restoring Tape Tension and  
Sound Quality  
After you play a cassette tape several  
times, the tape might become tightly  
wound on the reels. This can cause  
playback sound quality to deteriorate.  
To restore the sound quality, fast-for-  
ward the tape from the beginning to the  
end of one side, then completely re-  
wind it. Then loosen the tape reels by  
gently tapping each side of the cas-  
sette’s outer shell on a flat surface.  
Notes:  
• Be sure you cover only the hole  
originally covered by the erase-  
protection tab.  
Caution: Be careful not to damage the  
cassette when tapping it. Do not touch  
the exposed tape or allow any sharp  
objects near the cassette.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your Radio Shack CD-3318 is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.  
The following suggestions will help you care for the CD-3318 so you can enjoy it for  
years.  
Keep the CD-3318 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Water  
contains minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.  
Handle the CD-3318 carefully. Dropping it can damage the case and  
circuit boards and cause the CD-3318 to work improperly.  
Use the CD-3318 only in normal temperature environments. Temper-  
ature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage  
batteries, and warp or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the CD-3318 away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-  
ture wear of parts.  
Wipe the CD-3318 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking  
CLEANER  
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-  
gents to clean the CD-3318.  
Modifying or tampering with the CD-3318s internal components can cause a mal-  
function and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to oper-  
ate it. If the CD-3318 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack  
store for assistance.
