(140-0547)                 Power Sources              Faxback Doc. # 37774


CONNECTING POWER

You can power the CD-3322 from any of these power sources:

    Internal battery power, using eight D batteries and two AA batteries

    AC power, using the supplied AC power cord and a standard AC outlet

    Your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket, using an optional DC-to-AC
    inverter

    Caution:

    Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
    (standard alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
    different capacities.

USING BATTERIES

You can power your CD-3322 with eight D batteries (for normal operation)
and two AA batteries (for memory backup).  For the best results, we
recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No 23-550
(D cells) and 23-552/557 (AA cells).

    Caution:

    Only use fresh batteries of the required size and type.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1.  Press down and pull out on the tabs at the top of the battery
    compartment to remove the cover.

2.  Put the AA then the D batteries in the compartment (on top of the
    attached ribbon) as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked
    inside.

3.  Replace the cover.

    Notes:

    If you do not plan to use the CD-3322 with batteries for a week or
    more, or if you plan to use only AC or vehicle battery power, remove
    the D batteries.

    To save any radio stations stored in memory in case power is
    disconnected or interrupted, always leave the AA batteries installed.

    If the sound weakens or distorts, or the CD-3322 does not operate
    properly, replace the D batteries.

    Replace the AA batteries about every 6 months, or more often if power
    is frequently disconnected or interrupted.

    To easily remove the batteries, pull up on the attached ribbon.

    Caution:

    Always dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

USING AC POWER

To use AC power, plug the supplied power cord into AC INPUT on the back of
the system, then plug the other end into a standard AC outlet.

    Caution:

    Your system's power cord has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
    the other).  If you have difficulty inserting the plug into the
    outlet, do not force it!  Turn the plug over and try again.

    Notes:

    Always plug the power cord into the CD-3322 before you plug it into
    the AC outlet.  Always unplug the power cord from the outlet before
    you unplug it from the CD-3322.

    Connecting the power cord to the CD-3322 automatically disconnects
    the internal D batteries.

USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER

You can power the CD-3322 from your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket by
converting your vehicle's DC power to 115 V AC using an optional DC-to-AC
inverter, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 22-132.

Follow the instructions included with the inverter to connect it to your
vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.  Then unplug the CD-3322's power cord
into AC INPUT and plug the other end into the AC outlet on the inverter.

    Caution:

    Always plug the power cord into the CD-3322 before you plug it into
    the inverter.  Always unplug the power cord from the inverter before
    you unplug it from the CD-3322.

    Note:

    If the CD-3322 hums when you turn it off while using vehicle battery
    power, this is not a malfunction.  Simply unplug the inverter from
    your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.

INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for power.
For the best performance and longest life, we recommend alkaline
batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No., 23-555.

    Caution:

    Always use fresh batteries of the required size and type.

1.  To open the battery compartment cover, slide the cover in the
    direction of the arrow, then lift the cover away from the compartment.

2.  Insert the batteries into the compartment (on top of the attached
    ribbon) according to the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.

3.  Replace the cover.

    Notes:

    If you will not be using the remote control for a month or more,
    remove the batteries.

    To easily remove the batteries, pull up on the attached ribbon.

    You can use the remote control up to a distance of about 16 feet
    (5 meters), from an angle of up to 30 degrees in front of the CD-3322.
    If it does not operate properly within this range, replace the remote
    control's batteries.

    Caution:

    Always dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.
