connect the AC power cord.

USING BATTERIES

You can power the CD-3316 from 6 D
batteries (not supplied). For the best
results, we recommend alkaline batter­ies (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-

550). If the CD-3316 does not op erate
properly or if the sound weakens or
distorts, replace the batteries.

1. Press the two latches on the bat ­tery compartment cover and pull
out the cover in the direction of
the arrows to remove it.

side. (Signals are read from the
non-label side.)

• Do not store CDs in high-tempera­ture, high-humidity locations. The
CDs might warp.

• Keep the CD 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 fingerprints and always
keep it in its protective case or
sleeve when it is not in use. F in­gerprints and scratches on the
CD’s surface can prevent the
laser beam from correctly readi ng
the digital information. To clean
the CD surface, use a CD Cleaner
Kit (such as Cat. No. 42-116).

• If you move the player from a very
cold room to a warmer one, mois­ture can condense on the pickup
lens, preventing proper disc play.
If this happens, turn the CD player
off then wait 30 minutes before
attempting to operate it again.

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

RECORDING A
CASSETTE TAPE

You can record from the CD player or
radio.

Notes

:

• Before recording, be sure the
erase-protection tabs are in place
on the cassette tape you are
recording onto.

• Before you load a cassette tape
for recording, turn the cassette’s
hub with your finger or a pencil to
move the tape past its leader.

• Tape quality greatly affects the
quality of the recording. We rec­ommend regular length (60­minute or 90-minute) cassette
tapes. Long-play cassette tapes
such as C-120s are not recom­mended. For low-noise, wide­range recordings, use normal-bias
tape.

• The CD-3316’s Automatic Level
Control (ALC) automatically
adjusts the recording level. VOL­UME and TONE have no effect on
recording.

TAPE CARE TIPS

Preventing Accidental
Erasure

Cassette tapes have two erase-protec­tion tabs - one for each side. To protect
a recording from being accidentally re­corded over or erased, use a screw-

• Removing the erase-protection
tabs does not prevent a bulk
eraser from erasing a cassette
tape.

Erasing a Cassette Tape

If you no longer want a recording, you
can record over it or erase it.

To erase a previously recorded t ape,
you can either:

13

14-540 .fm Page 14 We dnesday, June 30, 1999 2:27 PM

• Remove all input sources so you can record silence over all or part of the tape.

• Use a bulk tape eraser (such as
Cat. No. 44-232, not supplied),
available at your local Radio
Shack store.

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, fas t-for­ward the tape from the beginning to the
end of one side, then completely re­wind it. Then loosen the tape reels by
gently tapping each side of the cas­sette’s outer shell on a flat surface.

Caution

USING HEADPHONES

For private listening, you can use a
pair of stereo headphones (not sup­plied) with an 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

VOLUME

: Connecting the headphones au-

to a comfortable listening

• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over a period of 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.
Even though some headphones are
designed to let you hear some outsi de
sounds when listening at normal vol­ume levels, they s till present a traffic
hazard and are illegal in some areas.

LISTENING SAFELY

Do not listen at extremely high volume
levels. Extended, high-volume listen­ing can lead to permanent hearing
loss. Follow these guidelines to protect
your hearing, especially when you use
headphones.

• Always start by setting the volume
to the lowest level possible before
you begin listening. Put the hea d­phones on, then gradually
increase the volume as neces­sary.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CARING FOR YOUR CD-3316

Your Radio Shack CD-3316 Portable AM/FM Stereo/Single Cassette Deck/CD Play­er is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions
will help you care for the CD-3316 so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the CD-3316 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Water
contains minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.

Use the CD-3316 only in normal temperature environments. Temper­ature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices , damage
batteries, and warp or melt the case.

Handle the CD-3316 carefully. Dropping it can damage the case and
circuit boards and cause the product to work improperly.

Keep the CD-3316 away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema­ture wear of parts.

Wipe the CD-3316 occasionally with a damp cloth to keep it looking

CLEANER

new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter­gents to clean the CD-3316.

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Always remove
old or weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that destroy electronic
circuits.

Modifying or tampering with the CD-3316’s interna l compone nts can cau se a m al­function and might invalidate its warrant y and v oi d your F CC aut horization to oper­ate it. If your CD-3316 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack
store for assistance.

FCC INFORMATION

This equipment complies with the lim­its for a Class B digital device as spec­ified in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These
limits provide reasonable protection
against radio and TV interference in a
residential area. However, your equip­ment 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:

• Reorient or relocate the radio or
TV’s receiving antenna

• Increase the distance between the
CD-3316 and the radio or TV

• Use outlets on different electrical
circuits for the CD-3316 and the
radio or TV

Consult your local Radio Shack s tore
or an experienced radio /TV tec hnician
if the problem still exists.

CLEANING THE TAPE­HANDLING PARTS

Dirt, dust or particles of the tape’s coat­ing can accumulate on the tape h eads
and other part s that the tape touches.
This can greatly reduce the perfor­mance of the cassette player. Use the
following cleaning procedure after ev­ery 20 hours of tape player operation.

1. Remove the batteries and discon­nect any other power source.

2. Open the cassette compartment
door.

3. Press PLAY to expose the tape­handling parts.

4. Use a cotton swab dipped in
denatured alcohol or tape head
cleaning solution to clean the
record/play head, pinch roller,
capstan, and erase head.

5. When you finish cleaning, press
STOP/EJECT and close the cas­sette compartment door.

Your local Radio Shack store sells a
complete line of cassette de ck clean­ing supplies.
