Using Headphones
For private listening, plug a pair of optional headphones (not supplied)
with a 1/8-inch plug into the (headphone symbol) jack. Your local
RadioShack store has a wide selection of headphones.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.
Set the volume to its lowest setting before you begin listening. After
you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.
Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time your ears adapt
to the listening level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort
might still damage your hearing.
Using The Radio
1. Set the switch to RADIO to turn on the radio.
2. Set BAND to AM or FM.
3. Adjust TUNING to the desired station.
4. Set FM STEREO/MONO to FM STEREO or MONO.
If you set FM STEREO/MONO to FM STEREO, when you receive an FM
station in stereo, the FM STEREO indicator lights.
To improve reception for weak FM stations, set FM STEREO/MONO to
MONO. The sound is no longer in stereo, but reception should
improve.
5. Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening level.
6. To boost the bass sound, set E-BASS OFF/ON to ON.
7. To enhance the stereo effect, set STEREO WIDE OFF/ON to ON.
8. To turn off the radio, set the switch to TAPE.

CD and CD Player Tips
Although a CD is very durable, you should handle it with care. We
recommend these precautions.
Keep the CD in its protective case or sleeve when you are not playing
it.
Keep the CD clean. Your local RadioShack store sells a suitable CD
cleaner kit.
Keep the CD dry. A drop of moisture can act as a lens and affect the
laser beam's focus. If it gets wet, wipe the CD with a soft, dry cloth
before playing it.
Do not write on either side of a CD, especially the non-label side.
Handle the CD by its edge to avoid fingerprints and surface scratches,
which can prevent the laser from accurately reading the CD. To clean
the surface, use a CD Cleaner Kit (such as Cat. No. 42-226) or Scratch
`n Fix (Cat. No. 42-127).
Do not store CDs in high-temperature, high-humidity locations.
Note: If the CD-3329 is subject to a sudden shock or jolt during play,
the CD's rotation speed might suddenly change, and the music be
briefly interrupted or the current track might start over. This is
not a malfunction.
CAUTIONS: To avoid damaging the CD player, do not place anything but a CD
in the CD compartment.
Remove any loaded CD from the CD player before moving the
CD-3329 to prevent damaging the CD.
Moving the CD payer suddenly from a cold place to a warmer one
can cause moisture to form on the pickup lens and disrupt
operation. If this happens, unplug it and wait about 2 hours
for the moisture to evaporate before playing a CD.
