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.
