CD CARE TIPS
the CD player’s control settings during
play and preserves battery life by lock-
ing most controls.
Even though a CD is very durable, you
should handle it with care.
• Keep the CD inside the CD player or
in its protective case or sleeve when
you are not playing it.
Three Power Sources
— let you power
your CD player from two standard or re-
chargeable nickel-cadmium AA batteries
(not supplied), your vehicle’s battery us-
ing the supplied DC adapter, or standard
AC power using an optional AC adapter.
• Handle a CD by its edges to avoid
fingerprints that can prevent the CD
player’s laser beam from accurately
reading the CD. Your local Ra-
dioShack store sells a suitable CD
cleaner kit.
5- or 3-Inch CD Compatible
— lets you
play either size CDs on your CD player.
• Do not write on either side of the
CD, particularly the non-label side.
(Signals are read from the non-label
side.)
Important:
You need a pair of stereo
headphones, earphones, or amplified
speakers, or a home audio or autosound
system to use your CD player. Your lo-
cal RadioShack store carries a complete
line of headphones, earphones, speak-
ers, and audio systems.
• Keep the CD dry. A water drop can
act as a lens and affect the laser
beam’s focus.
• Never use chemicals such as record
cleaning sprays, anti-static sprays
or fluids, benzene, or thinner to
clean CDs. These chemicals will
permanently damage the plastic
surface of the CD.
CDs that can be played on this CD play-
er have this mark on them:
• If a CD skips when you try to play
it, the CD might be scratched. Your
local RadioShack store sells a
Scratch ’n Fix kit that might stop
the skip. Also see “Troubleshooting”
on Page 17.
The CD player’s advanced technology
makes it simple to operate. But, be sure
you read this Owner’s Manual complete-
ly so you can take advantage of all its
advanced features.

POWERING THE CD PLAYER
Note:
You can power your CD player from any
of these sources:
Before you use the CD player with
nickel-cadmium batteries, you need to
charge them, either in an external bat-
tery charger (available at your local Ra-
dioShack store) or in the CD player (see
“Recharging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries”
on Page 7).
• two AA alkaline batteries (not sup-
plied)
• two rechargeable AA nickel-
cadmium batteries (not supplied)
• vehicle battery power using the sup-
plied DC adapter
Follow these steps to install the batter-
ies.
• standard AC power using an AC
adapter (not supplied)
Note:
The CD player senses whether or
not the batteries you install are re-
chargeable, and turns on the charging
circuit or disconnects the batteries ac-
cordingly.
1. Press down on the battery compart-
ment cover and slide it in the direc-
tion of the arrow on the cover, then
lift the cover.
USING BATTERIES
Your CD player can use two AA batter-
ies (not supplied) for power. For the best
performance and longest life, we recom-
mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Caution:
The battery compartment
cover is attached to the CD player.
Do not try to remove it.
2. Put two AA alkaline or nickel-
cadmium batteries in the battery
compartment, as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked
outside.
You can also use rechargeable nickel-
cadmium batteries to power your CD
player.
Cautions:
3. Close the battery compartment
cover.
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.

more, remove the batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.
3. It takes about 14 hours to charge
new or fully discharged nickel-
cadmium batteries. Subsequent
charges take 2–3 hours.
Recharging Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries
If you connect the supplied DC adapter
(see “Using Vehicle Battery Power” on
Page 8) or an AC adapter (see “Using
AC Power” on Page 8) to the CD player,
nickel-cadmium batteries automatically
charge while they are inside the CD
player’s battery compartment.
When the batteries are fully
charged, disconnect the AC or DC
adapter.
Important:

er can use Ni-Cd re-
chargeable batteries. At

tery's useful life, it must

could damage your CD player or the
batteries.
of properly. Contact your local, county,
or state hazardous waste management
authorities for information on recycling
or disposal programs in your area or call
1-800-843-7422. Some options that
might be available are: municipal curb-
side collection, drop-off boxes at retail-
ers such as your local RadioShack
store, recycling collection centers, and
mail-back programs.
• Do not use the CD player or open
the CD compartment cover while
you are charging nickel-cadmium
batteries.
• Nickel-cadmium batteries charge
more efficiently if the temperature is
above 40°F (4.5°C) and below 90°F
(32°C).
Follow these steps to charge RSU
11672508 Ni-Cd batteries in the CD
player.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus CD-3860 Portable Compact Disc Player is an example of superior
design 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 environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-
age batteries, 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 cir-
cuit boards and cases and can cause the CD player to work improper-
ly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
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
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 its warranty and void your FCC authorization to oper-
ate it. If your CD player is not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.

This product is warranted by RadioShack against manufacturing defects in material and workman-
ship under normal use for one (1) year from the date of purchase from RadioShack company-owned
stores and authorized RadioShack franchisees and dealers. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, Ra-
dioShack MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING
THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED
IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THE WRITTEN LIMITED WARRANTIES CONTAINED
HEREIN. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, RadioShack SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RE-
SPONSIBILITY TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY
LIABILITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY USE OR PERFOR-
MANCE OF THE PRODUCT OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, IN-
CLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM INCONVENIENCE, LOSS
OF TIME, DATA, PROPERTY, REVENUE, OR PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDEN-
TAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF RadioShack HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow the limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion of in-
cidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
In the event of a product defect during the warranty period, take the product and the RadioShack
sales receipt as proof of purchase date to any RadioShack store. RadioShack will, at its option, un-
less otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the defect by product repair without charge for parts and
labor; (b) replace the product with one of the same or similar design; or (c) refund the purchase
price. All replaced parts and products, and products on which a refund is made, become the prop-
erty of RadioShack. New or reconditioned parts and products may be used in the performance of
warranty service. Repaired or replaced parts and products are warranted for the remainder of the
original warranty period. You will be charged for repair or replacement of the product made after the
expiration of the warranty period.
This warranty does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable to acts of God, abuse,
accident, misuse, improper or abnormal usage, failure to follow instructions, improper installation or
maintenance, alteration, lightning or other incidence of excess voltage or current; (b) any repairs
other than those provided by a RadioShack Authorized Service Facility; (c) consumables such as
fuses or batteries; (d) cosmetic damage; (e) transportation, shipping or insurance costs; or (f) costs
of product removal, installation, set-up service adjustment or reinstallation.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state.
