CHOOSING A POWER SOURCE  
You can power your CD player from:  
2. Place four AA batteries or two  
rechargeable nickel-cadmium bat-  
tery packs in the compartment as  
indicated by the polarity symbols  
(+ and –) marked on the bottom of  
the CD player.  
• Four AA alkaline batteries or two  
rechargeable nickel-cadmium bat-  
tery packs (none supplied)  
• Standard AC power, using an AC  
adapter (not supplied)  
Cautions:  
• A vehicle’s battery power, using a  
DC adapter (not supplied)  
• Use only batteries of the  
required size and type.  
• Never mix fresh and old batter-  
ies,  
alkaline  
and  
nickel-  
USING BATTERIES  
cadmium battery packs, or  
nickel-cadmium batteries of dif-  
ferent capacities.  
You can power your CD player from  
four AA alkaline batteries (such as Ra-  
dioShack Cat. No. 23-552) or two re-  
chargeable nickel-cadmium battery  
packs (Cat. No. RSU 11377181, avail-  
able through your local RadioShack  
store). The CD player can recharge  
the nickel-cadmium battery packs  
while they are in the CD player.  
• If you do not plan to use the CD  
player for a month or more,  
remove and store the batteries.  
3. Close the battery compartment  
cover.  
Replace or recharge the batteries  
when

sound distorts, or the volume weak-  
ens.  
Cautions:  
• Always dispose of old batteries  
promptly and properly.  
• Never heat, disassemble, or throw  
batteries into a fire.  
• Never leave dead, old, or weak  
batteries in the CD player. Batter-  
ies can leak chemicals that cor-  
rode or damage electronic  
circuits.  
1. Slide the battery compartment  
cover in the direction of the arrow,  
then lift it open.

Charging Nickel-Cadmium  
Battery Packs  
Charging Tips  
• Always keep the charging termi-  
nals clean. Use a cotton swab  
dipped in alcohol to clean the ter-  
minals.  
Nickel-cadmium battery packs come  
fully discharged. You can charge the  
special-order batteries while they are  
in the battery compartment using an  
AC adapter (such as Cat. No. 273-  
1664, not supplied) or DC adapter  
(such as Cat. No. 273-1801, not sup-  
plied).  
• Under normal usage conditions,  
the nickel-cadmium battery packs  
can be recharged about 500  
times.  
Warning: Do not try to charge non-  
rechargeable batteries. The batteries  
can become very hot and possibly ex-  
plode.  
• Fully discharge the battery packs  
occasionally by playing the CD  
player until it no longer plays.  
Then fully recharge the battery  
packs. This helps restore the bat-  
tery packs’ full charging capacity.  
Follow these steps to recharge nickel-  
cadmium battery packs while they are  
in the battery compartment.  
• Avoid charging the batteries in a  
hot environment (more than  
113°F) as this can permanently  
reduce the battery packs’ charg-  
ing capacity.  
1. Connect an AC or DC adapter.  
See “Using AC Power” on Page 7  
or “Using Vehicle Battery Power”  
on Page 8.  
Notes:  
• Do not overcharge the battery  
packs. Overcharging can severely  
reduce the battery packs’ useful  
life.  
• It takes about 15 hours to  
charge fully discharged nickel-  
cadmium batteries.  
• You can play a CD while  
recharging the batteries; how-  
ever, this could cause the bat-  
teries to recharge more slowly.  
• Do not short-circuit the battery  
packs’ terminals (+ and –).  
2. When the nickel-cadmium battery  
packs fully charge, unplug the  
adapter from the AC outlet or cig-  
arette lighter socket, then discon-  
nect the adapter from the CD  
player.

42-5065.fm Page 7 Thursday, August 12, 1999 9:47 AM  
Important: This portable CD player is  
capable of using rechargeable nickel-  
cadmium battery packs. At the end of  
the battery packs’ useful life, they  
must be recycled or disposed of prop-  
erly. Contact your local, county, or  
state hazardous waste management  
authorities for information on recycling  
or disposal programs in your area.  
Some options that might be available  
are: municipal curb-side collection,  
drop-off boxes at retailers, recycling  
collection centers, and mail-back pro-  
grams.  
Follow these steps to use an AC  
adapter.

packs).  
• Disconnect the adapter from the  
cigarette-lighter socket when you  
are not using it to prevent the  
vehicle’s battery from being  
drained.  
4. Plug the other end of the adapter  
into your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter  
socket.  
• Always disconnect the adapter  
from the cigarette-lighter socket  
before you unplug it from the CD  
player.  
• If you park your vehicle in the sun,  
temperatures inside can easily  
reach levels that could damage  
your CD player and your CDs. To  
prevent heat damage, avoid leav-  
ing your CD player or CDs in your  
vehicle.

CONNECTIONS  
You can listen to your CD player by  
connecting stereo earphones or am-  
plified speakers to the player’s  
PHONES jack, or by connecting the  
player’s LINE OUT jack to a home au-  
dio or car stereo system.  
Listening Safely  
To protect your hearing, follow these  
guidelines when you use earphones.  
• Set the volume to the lowest set-  
ting before you begin listening.  
After you begin listening, adjust  
the volume to a comfortable level.  
Notes:  
• If you use the PHONES jack, use  
the CD player’s VOLUME control  
to adjust the volume.  
• Do not listen at extremely high  
volume levels. Extended high-  
volume listening can lead to per-  
manent hearing loss.  
• If you use the LINE OUT jack, use  
the home audio or car stereo sys-  
tem’s volume control to adjust the  
volume.  
• 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.  
CONNECTING  
EARPHONES  
Traffic Safety  
For private listening, plug a pair of ste-  
reo earphones with a 1/8-inch plug (not  
supplied) into the CD player’s  
PHONES jack.  
Do not wear earphones while operat-  
ing a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.  
This can create a traffic hazard and  
can be illegal in some areas.  
Even though some earphones let you  
hear some outside sounds when lis-  
tening at normal volume levels, they  
still can present a traffic hazard.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your Optimus CD-3520 Portable Compact Disc Player is an example of superior de-  
sign and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your CD  
player so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the CD player dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids  
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Use and store the CD player only in normal temperature environ-  
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic de-  
vices and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the CD player away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-  
ture wear of parts.  
Handle the CD player gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage  
circuit boards and cases and can cause the CD player to work im-  
properly.  
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Old batteries  
can leak chemicals that damage your CD player’s electronic parts.  
Wipe the CD player with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking  
CLEANER  
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-  
gents to clean the CD player.  
Modifying or tampering with the CD player’s internal components can cause a mal-  
function and might invalidate your CD player’s warranty and void your FCC authori-  
zation to operate it. If your CD player is not performing as it should, take it to your  
local RadioShack store for assistance.

CD CARE TIPS  
FCC INFORMATION  
• If you move the player from a very  
cold room to a warmer one, mois-  
ture can condense on the pickup  
lens, preventing proper CD play. If  
this happens, wait 1 hour for the  
moisture to evaporate before  
resuming play.  
This equipment complies with the lim-  
its for a Class B digital device as spec-  
ified in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These  
limits provide reasonable protection  
against radio and TV interference in a  
residential area. However, your CD  
player might cause TV or radio inter-  
ference even when it is operating  
properly. To eliminate interference,  
you can try one or more of the follow-  
ing corrective measures:  
• Do not place anything but a CD in  
the disc tray. Doing so can dam-  
age the drive mechanism.  
• During playback, a severe shock  
or jolt could make the CD’s rota-  
tion speed change suddenly and  
produce some noise. This is not a  
malfunction.  
• Increase the distance between the  
CD player and the radio or TV.  
• Use outlets on different electrical  
circuits for the CD player and the  
radio or TV.  
• Always handle a CD by the edges  
and keep it in its protective case  
or sleeve when it is not in use.  
Fingerprints and scratches on the  
CD’s surface can prevent the  
laser beam from correctly reading  
the digital information. To clean  
the CD, use a CD cleaner kit  
(RadioShack Cat. No. 42-226).  
• Consult your local RadioShack  
store if the problem still exists.  
LASER SAFETY  
This unit employs a laser. Only quali-  
fied service persons should remove  
the cover or attempt to service this de-  
vice, due to possible eye injury.  
• A scratch on the CD’s surface can  
make the CD skip or stop playing.  
If the CD gets scratched, use  
Scratch ’n Fix (RadioShack Cat.  
No. 42-127) to repair the scratch.  
Warning: The use of controls or ad-  
justments or the performance of pro-  
cedures other than specified herein  
can result in hazardous exposure to  
laser light.  
• Keep CDs dry. A water drop can  
act as a lens and affect the laser  
beam focus.
