(160-0124C)                Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 48139

Your Portavision Portable 5-Inch Black and White VHF/UHF Television is an
example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions
will help you care for the television so you can enjoy it for years.

  Keep the television dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
  Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

  Use and store the television only in normal temperature environments.
  Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
  batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

  Keep the television away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
  wear of parts.

  Handle the television gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage
  circuit boards and cases and can cause the television to work
  improperly.

  Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
  Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your television's electronic
  parts.

  Wipe the television with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
  new.  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
  detergents to clean the television.

Modifying or tampering with the television's internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate your television's warranty and void
your FCC authorization to operate it.  If your television is not
performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.

CHANGING THE FUSE

If the television does not work while using vehicle battery power:

1.  Unscrew the knurled ring on the DC power cord and remove the spring to
    check the fuse.

2.  If the fuse is bad, replace it with a 3-amp fuse, such as RadioShack
    Cat. No. 270-1009.  Do not use a fuse with a different rating.

3.  Replace the spring and the knurled ring.  Tighten the ring securely.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Your television might cause TV or radio interference even when it is
operating properly.  To determine whether your television is causing the
interference, turn off your television.  If the interference goes away,
your television is causing the interference.  Try to eliminate the
interference by:

  Moving your television away from the TV or radio receiving the
  interference.

  Connecting your television to an outlet that is on a different
  electrical circuit than the TV or radio receiving the interference.

  Contacting your local RadioShack store for assistance.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your television.
