CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Optimus CD-3321 Portable Triple-Play Compact Disc Player with AM/FM
Stereo Dual-Cassette Recorder is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for the
CD-3321 so you can enjoy it for years.

     Keep the CD-3321 dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. 
     Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic
     circuits.

     Use and store the CD-3321 only in normal temperature environments. 
     Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and
     distort or melt plastic parts.

     Keep the CD-3321 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
     wear of parts.

     Handle the CD-3321 gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage
     circuit boards and cases and can cause the CD-3321 to work improperly.

     Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.  Old batteries
     can leak chemicals that damage your CD-3321's electronic parts.

     Wipe the CD-3321 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
     new.  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
     detergents to clean the CD-3321.

Modifying or tampering with the CD-3321's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate your CD-3321's warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.  If your CD-3321 is not performing as it
should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.


CLEANING THE TAPE HANDLING PARTS

Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape's coating can accumulate on the tape
heads and other parts that the tape touches.  This can greatly reduce the
performance of the CD-3321.  Use the following cleaning procedure after
every 20 hours of operation.

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

2.   Open the cassette compartment door on each deck.

3.   Press PLAY on each deck to expose the tape-handling parts.

4.   Use a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol or tape head cleaning
     solution to clean the tape guides, record or play heads, pinch
     rollers, capstans, and erase heads.

5.   When you finish cleaning, press STOP/EJECT on each deck and close the
     cassette compartment doors.

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