You can receive VHF and UHF broadcast signals by using the built-in
telescoping antenna or by connecting an external antenna or CATV cable to
the TV/monitor's EXT ANT jack.  You can also receive video signals by
connecting a VCR, camcorder, or any other audio/video source to the
TV/monitor.

CONNECTING AN ANTENNA OR CABLE TV

You can use the built-in telescoping antenna in areas that have a strong
TV signal.  However, for improved reception, connect a standard outdoor
VHF/UHF antenna (not included) to the TV.

Your local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of antennas to choose
from.

NOTE:  For better reception in your vehicle, you can connect a mobile TV
       antenna (such as Cat. No. 15-1614) to the Tv/monitor.

If the outdoor antenna wire or CATV cable is 75-ohm coaxial cable, connect
the cable to the TV/monitor's EXT ANT jack using an F-to-1/8-inch mini
plug adapter, available at your local Radio Shack store.

NOTE:  If you are using a CATV selector box, set the band selector to VHF
       LOW and adjust TUNING to Channel 3 or 4 to receive cable
       broadcasts.  Check with your CATV system installer for more
       information about receiving cable broadcasts.

If you use 300-ohm twin-lead wire for the antenna, use the supplied
300/75-ohm adapter to connect the wire to the TV as follows:

1.  Connect the wire from the outdoor antenna to the terminals on the
    adapter's side.

2.  Insert the adapter's plug into the TV/monitor's EXT ANT jack.

NOTE:  The telescoping antenna is automatically disconnected when you
       connect an external antenna to the TV/monitor.

CONNECTING AN AUDIO/VIDEO COMPONENT

To receive audio and video signals from a VCR or a camcorder, connect the
audio/video component's audio and video outputs to the AUDIO and VIDEO IN
jacks using shielded video cables with phono connectors.  See the
components instruction manual for more information about connecting it to
a monitor.

NOTE:  Using an audio cable for video connections degrades the system's
       performance.

USING THE STAND

You can use the built-in stand only when you use AC power or your
vehicle's battery power and you have removed the battery compartment.

1.  Remove the battery compartment by gently pressing the compartment's
    two locking latches in the direction of the arrow and lifting it from
    the TV monitor.

2.  Lift the front of the TV/monitor using the handle and swing the stand
    away from the TV/monitor's bottom.

To retract the stand, lift the front of the TV/monitor and swing the stand
toward the TV/monitor's bottom until it locks into place.
