(160-0104)                 Power Sources              Faxback Doc. # 40745

The unit can be operated from any one of three different power sources:

    1.  Standard AC (120V, 60Hz)
    2.  9 D-cell batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-580 Extra Life).
    3.  Car battery (12V)

STANDARD AC OPERATION

Use the AC power cord supplied with the unit.  Connect one end of the cord
to the AC 120V socket 33 on the unit; plug the other end into any standard
120V 60 Hz AC outlet (house current).

    NOTE
    Connecting to the AC input socket of the unit automatically
    disconnects any other power supply.

    CAUTION:
    When you are going to operate from batteries (or whenever you
    disconnect AC power cord), do not leave the AC power cord plugged into
    a wall outlet.  Dangerous 120V AC appears on the female connector end.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

The battery compartment 34 is located on the rear of the unit.  Open the
compartment by sliding the cover off in the direction of the arrows.
Insert nine D-cell batteries (not included), positioning them with
polarity as shown in the diagram.  Incorrect polarity may damage the unit.
Replace compartment cover.

    NOTE:
    To operate the unit on batteries, the AC power cord must be
    disconnected from the AC input socket on the unit.

    When batteries become weak, the TV picture size will shrink.
    When this happens, it is time to replace the batteries.  For best
    results, we recommend that you use only the heavy-duty type of
    batteries, such as Radio Shack's 23-550 or 23-580.

    Battery life can very greatly, depending on how you use your unit
    (TV, Radio or Cassette).  Battery life will be longest with Radio
    operation and shortest with TV operation.  In any case, Alkaline
    Batteries will give the longest life .  By way, never leave weak or
    dead batteries in the TV set (or in any battery-operated device).
    They can leak damaging chemicals.  Also, if you do not intend to
    operate from battery power for a week or more, remove the batteries.
    Never store the unit with batteries inside.

CAR BATTERY OPERATION (12V DC)

You may operate the unit from the cigarette lighter socket in any car that
has a negative 12-volt ground system.  Use our 270-1534A Adapter.  Connect
the cord between the DC 12V socket 32 on the unit and the cigarette-
lighter socket on your vehicle.

    NOTE:
    To operate the unit from the vehicle's battery, the AC power cord must
    be disconnected from the AC input socket of the unit.
