CONNECTING POWER
You can power your CD-3327 from either:
• standard AC power (with the sup-
plied power cord)
• eight D batteries (not supplied)
Note:
Connecting the power cord dis-
connects internal batteries.
Using AC Power
To use AC power, plug the supplied
power cord into the
of the CD-3327. Then plug the other end
into a standard AC outlet.

Using Batteries
You can use eight D batteries (not supplied) to power the CD-3327. For the
best performance and longest life, we
recommend alkaline batteries, available
at your local RadioShack store.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Remove the battery compartment
cover by pushing the cover’s tab
downward and lifting off the cover.
Cautions:
• The plug’s blades are polarized (one
• Always unplug the power cord from

only one way. If the plug does not fit
easily, tur n it over and try ag ain. Do
not force it.

from the CD-3327.

2. Put eight D batteries in the batter y
compartment as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked
inside.
3. Replace the cover and snap it shut.
When the sound weakens or the CD3327 stops operating properly, replace
all eight batteries.
Cautions:
• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.
• If you do not plan to use the CD3327 with batteries for several
weeks, or if you plan to power the
CD-3327 using only AC power,
remove the batteries.
USING HEADPHONES
For private listening, plug a pair of optional stereo headpho nes with a
(3.5-mm) plug into the
jack. Your local Radi oShack stor e has a
wide selection of headphones.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.
• Set the volume to its lowest set ting
before you begin listening. Afte r you
begin listening, ad just the volume t o
a comfortable listening level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.

/8-inch
PHONES
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time your ears
adapt to the listeni ng level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your
hearing.
