Your Optimus CD-3330 Portable CD Player is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for the system so you can enjoy it for years.

  Keep the CD-3330 dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
  might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

  Use and store the CD-3330 only in normal temperature environments.
  Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
  batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

  Handle the CD-3330 gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage the
  circuit boards and can cause the system to work improperly.

  Keep the CD-3330 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear
  of parts.

  Wipe the CD-3330 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
  clean the system.

Modifying or tampering with the CD-3330's internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.  If the CD-3330 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 cassette player.  After every 20 hours of tape player operation, use a cassette deck cleaning kit (Cat. No. 44-1202), or follow these steps to clean the tape-handling parts.

1.  Remove the batteries and disconnect AC power.

2.  Open the cassette compartment door.

3.  With the eraser end of a pencil, gently press down on the erase
    protection tab sensor.

4.  While holding down the erase protection tab sensor, press RECORD O to
    expose the tape-handling parts.

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

When you finish cleaning, press STOP/EJECT []//\ and close the cassette compartment door.  Then reconnect power.

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