• Replace the AA batteries about
every 6 months, or more often if
power is frequently disconnected
or interrupted.
• To easily remove the batteries,
pull up on the attached ribbon.
Caution: Always dispose of old batter-
ies promptly and properly.
Using AC Power
To use AC power, plug the supplied
power cord into AC INPUT on the back
of the system, then plug the other end
into a standard AC outlet.
Caution: Your system’s power cord has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). If you have difficulty in-
serting the plug into the outlet, do not
force it! Turn the plug over and try
again.
Notes:
• Always plug the power cord into
the CD-3322 before you plug it
into the AC outlet. Always unplug
the power cord from the outlet
before you unplug it from the CD-
3322.
• Connecting the power cord to the
CD-3322 automatically discon-
nects the internal D batteries.
Using Vehicle Battery Power
You can power the CD-3322 from your
vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket by
converting your vehicle’s DC power to
115V AC using an optional DC-to-AC
inverter, such as RadioShack Cat. No.
22-132.
Follow the instructions included with
the inverter to connect it to your vehi-
cle’s cigarette lighter socket. Then plug
the CD-3322’s power cord into AC IN-
PUT and plug the other end into the
AC outlet on the inverter.
Caution: Always plug the power cord
into the CD-3322 before you plug it into
the inverter. Always unplug the power
cord from the inverter before you un-
plug it from the CD-3322.
Note: If the CD-3322 hums when you
turn it off while using vehicle battery
power, this is not a malfunction. Simply
unplug the inverter from your vehicle’s
cigarette-lighter socket.
