If the CD-3318 does not operate prop-
erly or if the sound weakens or distorts,
replace the batteries.
Cautions:
• Always dispose of the old batter-
ies promptly and properly.
• Never leave dead, old, or weak
batteries in the CD-3318. They
can leak chemicals and corrode or
damage electronic circuits.
Using Your Vehicle’s Battery
You can power the CD-3318 from your
vehicle’s battery using a DC-to-AC in-
verter (such as Radio Shack Cat. No.
22-132, not supplied).
Cautions:
• To protect your vehicle’s electrical
system, always plug the AC power
cord into
AC IN~ and the inverter
before you plug the inverter into
the cigarette lighter socket.
Always unplug the inverter from
the cigarette lighter socket before
you unplug the AC power cord
from
AC IN~ and the inverter.
• The recommended inverter sup-
plies 120 volts AC power and
delivers at least 315 milliamps.
Using an inverter that does not
meet these specifications could
damage the CD-3318.
1. Plug the supplied power cord into
the AC IN~ jack on the back of the
CD-3318.
2. Plug the AC power cord into the
power inverter’s AC jack.
3. Plug the power inverter into your
car’s cigarette lighter socket.
Note: If the CD-3318 does not operate
properly when you use the inverter, un-
plug the inverter from the cigarette
lighter socket and clean the socket to
remove ashes and debris. Also, check
the AC power cord for proper connec-
tion. If it still does not operate properly,
check the fuse in the inverter.
