AC POWER

You can power the TV from a standard AC outlet.

You must use an optional AC adapter that supplies 6 volts and delivers at
least 550 mA.  Its center tip must be set to positive, and its plug must
correctly fit the TV's DC IN 6V jack.  (We recommend RadioShack Cat. No.
273-1664.)  Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could
seriously damage the TV or the adapter.  Set the adapter's voltage switch
to 6V.

Notes:  Do not leave the adapter plugged into the AC outlet or connected
        to the TV when you are not using the TV.

        Always unplug the adapter from the AC outlet first.

        The adapter might become warm after extended periods of use.

VEHICLE BATTERY POWER

You can use an optional DC adapter to power the TV from your vehicle's
cigarette-lighter socket if your vehicle has a 12-volt DC, negative-ground
electrical system.

You must use a DC adapter that supplies 6 volts and delivers at least 550
mA.  Its center tip must be set to positive, and its plug must correctly
fit the TV's DC IN 6V jack.  (We recommend RadioShack Cat. No. 273-1801.)
Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could seriously
damage the TV or the adapter.

1.  Set the adapter's voltage switch to 6V.

2.  Plug the adapter's barrel plug into the TV's DC IN 6V jack.

3.  Unplug your vehicle's cigarette lighter and plug the large end of the
    DC adapter cord into the cigarette-lighter socket.

Notes:  If the TV does not operate properly when you use DC power, be sure
        the cigarette-lighter socket is clean and that the adapter's plug
        is pushed all the way into the socket.

        Do not leave the adapter plugged into the cigarette-lighter socket
        or connected to the TV when you are not using the TV.

        Always unplug the adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket first.

BATTERIES

Your TV uses three AA batteries (not supplied).  For the best results, we
recommend alkaline batteries (RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552).

1.  Slide off the battery compartment's cover in the direction of the
    arrows.

2.  Insert three fresh batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols
    (+ and -) marked inside.
    
    CAUTION:  Installing batteries incorrectly can damage the TV.

3.  Replace the cover.

Notes:  The TV can operate for about 3 hours with alkaline batteries.
        When the sound level lowers or the picture becomes unstable,
        replace the batteries.

        Internal batteries automatically disconnect when you plug an
        adapter into the DC IN 6V jack.
