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).

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).

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 properly. To eliminate interference, 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.
