USING INTERNAL BATTERY POWER

You can power the Portavision from 9 D batteries.  We recommend alkaline

            Battery life can vary greatly, depending on how you use your
            TV/radio.  TV operation drain batteries faster than radio
            operation.

            If you do not intend to use your TV/radio for a month or
            more, remove the batteries.  Never store your TV/radio with
            batteries inside.  They leak damaging chemicals.

          milliamps, and has a center positive plug which properly fits the
          Portavision's DC 12-14V jack.  Using an adapter that does not
          meet these specifications could damage the TV/radio or the
          adapter.
