A Quick Look at Your CD-3640

Your CD Player has the following controls and features:

    REPEAT/PGM              OPEN/CLOSE
    SKIP/SEARCH             STOP
    CD Compartment Door     Display

Connecting Power

You can power your CD-3640 from either:

  Standard AC Power (with the supplied power cord)
  Eight C Batteries (not supplied)

Note:  Connecting the power cord disconnects internal batteries.

Using AC Power

To use AC power, plug the supplied power cord into the AC~jack on the back 
of the CD-3640.  Then plug the other end into a standard AC outlet.

CAUTIONS:  The plug's blades are polarized (one blade is wider than the
           other) and fits only one way.  If the plug does not fit easily,
           turn it over and try again.  Do not force it.

           Always unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before you
           unplug it from the CD-3640.

Using Batteries

Your player can use eight C batteries (not supplied) for power.  For the 
best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline 
batteries.

CAUTIONS:  Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended
           type.

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

HINT:  For the easiest battery installation, turn the CD-3640 face down on
       a flat surface.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1.  Press down on the two tabs above the battery compartment cover, then
    pull out the cover to remove it.

2.  Place the batteries in the compartmetn and on top of the attached
    ribbon, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked on the
    back of the CD-3640.

3.  Replace the cover.

When the CD-3640's sound weakens or distorts, or the CD-3640 stops 
operating properly, replace the batteries.

WARNING:  Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.  Do not bury or
          burn them.

CAUTION:  If you do not plan to use the CD-3640 with batteries for a month
          or more, or if you plan to use only AC power, remove the
          batteries.  Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy
          electronic parts.

Using Headphones

For listening privately, you can connect a pair of stereo headphones (not 
supplied) with a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug to the PHONES jack.  Your local 
RadioShack store carries a wide selection of stereo headphones.

Note:  Connecting headphones automatically disconnects the built-in
       speakers.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.

  Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.  After
  you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable 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 volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort
  might still damage your hearing.
