Connecting Power
You can power the CD-3322 from any of these power sources:
• Internal battery power, using eight
D batteries and two AA batteries
(not supplied — see “Using Bat-
teries”)
• AC power, using the supplied AC
power cord and a standard AC
outlet (see “Using AC Power” on
Page 8)
• Your vehicle’s cigarette lighter
socket, using an optional DC-to-
AC inverter (see “Using Vehicle
Battery Power” on Page 8)
Caution: Do not mix old and new bat-
teries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
Using Batteries
You can power your CD-3322 with
eight D batteries (for normal operation)
and two AA batteries (for memory
backup). For the best results, we rec-
ommend alkaline batteries, such as
RadioShack Cat. No. 23-550 (D cells)
and 23-552/557 (AA cells).
Caution: Only use fresh batteries of the
required size and type.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Press down and pull out on the
tabs at the top of the battery com-
partment to remove the cover.
2. Put the AA then the D batteries in
the compartment (on top of the
attached ribbon) as indicated by
the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
Notes:
• If you do not plan to use the CD-
3322 with batteries for a week or
more, or if you plan to use only AC
or vehicle battery power, remove
the D batteries.
• To save any radio stations stored
in memory in case power is dis-
connected or interrupted, always
leave the AA batteries installed.
• If the sound weakens or distorts,
or the CD-3322 does not operate
properly, replace the D batteries.
