CHOOSING A POWER SOURCE
You can power your CD player from:
• Four AA alkaline batteries or two
rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery packs (none supplied)
• Standard AC power, using an AC
adapter (not supplied)
• A vehicle’s battery power, using a
DC adapter (not supplied)
USING BATTERIES
You can power your CD player from
four AA alkaline batteries (such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552) or two rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery
packs (Cat. No. RSU 11377181, available through your local RadioShack
store). The CD player can recharge
the nickel-cadmium battery packs
while they are in the CD player.
Installing Batteries
2. Place four AA batteries or two
rechargeable nickel-cadm ium battery packs in the compartment as
indicated by the polarity symbols
(+ and –) marked on the bottom of
the CD player.
Cautions:
• Use only batteries of the
required size and type.
• Never mix fresh and old batter-
ies, alkaline and nickelcadmium battery packs, or
nickel-cadmium batteries of different capacities.
• If you do not plan to use the CD
player for a month or more,
remove and store the batteries.
3. Close the battery compartment
cover.
Replace or recharge the batteries
when flashes on the d isplay, the
sound distorts, or the volume weakens.
1. Slide the battery compartment
cover in the direction o f the arrow,
then lift it open.
Cautions:
• Always dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly.
• Never heat, disassemble, or throw
batteries into a fire.
• Never leave dead, old, or weak
batteries in the CD player. Batteries can leak chemicals that corrode or damage electronic
circuits.

Charging Nickel-Cadmium
Battery Packs
Nickel-cadmium battery packs come
fully discharged. You can charge the
special-order batteries while they are
in the battery compartment using an
AC adapter (such as Cat. No. 2731664, not supplied) or DC adapter
(such as Cat. No. 273-1801, not supplied).
Warnin

can become very hot and possibly explode.
Follow these steps to recharge nickelcadmium battery packs whil e they are
in the battery compartment.
1. Connect an AC or DC adapter.
Do not try to charge non-
:
See “Using AC Power” on Page 7
or “Using Vehicle Battery Power”
on Page 8.
Notes:
• It takes about 15 hours to
charge fully discharged nickelcadmium batteries.
• You can play a CD while
recharging the batteries; however, this could cause the batteries to recharge more slowly.
Charging Tips
• Always keep the charging terminals clean. Use a cotton swab
dipped in alcohol to clean the terminals.
• Under normal usage conditions,
the nickel-cadmium battery packs
can be recharged about 500
times.
• Fully discharge the bat tery pack s
occasionally by playing the CD
player until it no longer plays.
Then fully recharge the battery
packs. This he lps restore the battery packs’ full charging capacity.
• Avoid charging the batteries in a
hot environment (more than
113°F) as this can permanently
reduce the battery packs’ charging capacity.
• Do not overcharge the battery
packs. Overcharging can severely
reduce the battery packs’ useful
life.
• Do not short-circuit the battery
packs’ terminals (+ and –).
2. When the nickel-cadmium battery
packs fully charge, unplug the
adapter from the AC outlet or ci garette lighter socket, then disconnect the adapter from the CD
player.

Important: T his portable CD player is
capable of using rechargeable nickelcadmium battery pa cks. At the end of
the battery packs’ useful life, they
must be recycled or disposed of pro perly. Contact your local, county, or
state hazardous waste management
authorities for information on recycling
or disposal programs in your area.
Some options that might be available
are: municipal curb-side collection,
drop-off boxes at retailers, recycling
collection centers, and mail-back programs.
USING AC POWER
You can power the CD play er from a
standard AC outlet using an AC
adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1664
(not supplied).
Cautions:
• You must use an AC ada pter that
supplies 6 volts and delivers at
least 550 milliam ps. Its center tip
must be set to positive, and its
plug must correctly fit the CD
player’s

specifications. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifications could damage the CD

3. Insert the adapter’s barrel plug
into the CD player’s

jack.
Note: Battery power disconnects
when you connec t an AC adapter
to the CD player (unless you are
using nickel-cadmium battery
packs).
4. Plug the other end of the adapter
into a standard AC outlet.
• When you finish using the AC
adapter, disconnect it f rom the AC
outlet first, then unplug it from the
CD player.

You can power your CD player from
your vehicle’s battery using a DC
adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1801
(not supplied).

that does not meet these specifications can damage the CD
player or the adapter.
• Disconnect the adapter from the

Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use earphones.
• Set the volume to the l owest 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 highvolume 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 earphones whil e operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
This can create a traffic hazard and
can be ille g al in so me a re as .
Even though some earphones let you
hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they
still can present a traffic hazard.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus CD-3520 Portable Compact Disc Player is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your CD
player so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the CD player dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the CD player only in n orma l temperature environments. Temperature extrem es can shorten t he life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the CD player away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the CD player gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cases and can cause th e CD player to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of t he required size and t ype. Old bat teries
can leak chemicals that damage your CD player’s electronic parts.
Wipe the CD player with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
CLEANER
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the CD player.
Modifying or tampering with the CD player’s internal components can caus e a m alfunction and might invalidate your CD player’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your CD p layer is not performing as it should, take it to your
local RadioShack store for assistance.

CD CARE TIPS
• If you move the player from a very
cold room to a warmer one, mo isture can condense on the pickup
lens, preventing proper CD play. If
this happens, wait 1 hour for the
moisture to evaporate before
resuming play.
• Do not place any thing but a CD in
the disc tray. Doing so can damage the drive mechanism.
• During playback, a severe shock
or jolt could make the CD’s rotation speed change suddenly and
produce some noise. This is not a
malfunc tio n.
• Always handle a CD by the edg es
and keep it in its protective case
or sleeve when it is 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, use a CD cleaner kit
(RadioShack Cat. No. 42-226).
• A scratch on the CD’s surface can
make the CD skip or stop playing.
If the CD gets scratched, use
Scratch ’n Fix (RadioShack Cat.
No. 42-127) to repair the scratch.
• Keep CDs dry. A water drop can
act as a lens and affect the las er
beam focus.
FCC INFORMATION
This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as specified in Part 15 of
limits provide reasonable protection
against radio and TV interference in a
residential area. However, your CD
player might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating

you can try one or more of the following corrective measures:
• Increase the distance between the
CD player and the radio or TV.
• Use outlets on different electrical
circuits for the CD player and the
radio or TV.
• Consult your local RadioShack
store if the problem still exists.
