Portable B/W TV
(160-0102)                 Power Sources              Faxback Doc. # 40735


Your PORTAVISION can operate from three different power sources: 
standard AC current (120V 60Hz), 6 D-Cell batteries, and the car battery
adapter (12V DC).

Standard 120V AC Operation

Connect the end of the power cord with the female connector to the AC
POWER SOCKET on the back of your unit.  Plug the other end into a
wall socket.

NOTE:  Make the connection to the AC SOCKET on the unit automatically
       disconnects any other power source.

CAUTION:  When you are going to operate from batteries (or whenever you
          disconnect the AC power cord), don't leave the AC power cord
          plugged into a wall socket.  The other end of the cord remains
          "hot", if you do.

Battery Operation

The battery compartment is on the back of the unit.  Open the compartment
by pushing the locking tab up and out.  Insert 6 D-Cell batteries,
positioning them according to the picture in the compartment.  Incorrect
battery installation may damage the unit.  TV picture will begin to
shrink.  If this happens replace all the batteries.  For best results,
we recommend that you only use heavy duty batteries such as RADIO SHACK
23-550 or 23-580.  With our alkaline batteries you can expect 25 to 30
hours of operation.  With our Extra Life Enercells you can expect 7 to 10
hours.

Never leave weak or dead batteries in the TV set (or any other batteries
operated device).  The can leak and damage the unit.  Also, if you do not
intend to operate from batteries for a weak or more, remove the
batteries.  Never store the unit with batteries inside.

Car Battery Operation

By using the DC POWER CORD (Use our 270-1534 Adapter.), you can plug the
PORTAVISION into your car's cigarette lighter socket (if it is a 12V
system with negative ground).  Connect the female end of the cord to the
12V JACK, and the male plug into the cigarette lighter.  Be careful not to
allow the tip of the DC POWER CORD contact any part of the car body.  This
will cause a short circuit, and could blow a fuse.

If the fuse in the cord blows, replace it with a 2 amp fuse.  ALWAYS USE
THE CORRECTLY RATED FUSE.

NOTE:  Ashes built-up inside the cigarette lighter socket must be removed
       with a dry cotton swab to insure a "solid" connection with the
       DC POWER CORD.
