Your Optimus CD-3329 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 3329 so you can enjoy it for years.

  Keep the CD-3329 dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
  might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
  
  Use and store the CD-3329 only in normal temperature environments.
  Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices,
  damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

  Keep the CD-3329 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear
  of parts.

  Handle the CD-3329 gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage circuit
  boards and cases and can cause the CD-3329 to work improperly.

  Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.  Batteries can
  leak chemicals that damage your CD-3329's electronic parts.

  Wipe the CD-3329 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
  clean the CD-3329.

Modifying or tampering with the CD-3329's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate your CD-3329's warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.  If your CD-3329 is not performing as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack 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-3329.  Use the following cleaning procedure after
every 20 hours of operation.

1.  Remove the batteries and disconnect the power cord.

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 RadioShack store sells a complete line of cassette deck
cleaning supplies.

The FCC Wants You To Know

This system 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 receiving antenna.

Increase the distance between the equipment and the radio or TV.

Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the equipment and the
radio or TV.

Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem still exists.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your CD 3329.
