5" B/W TV W/AM/FM Stereo Radio & Cassette Recorder
(160-0132) Preparation Faxback Doc. # 51209
Power Sources
You can power your TV/radio/cassette from three power sources:
Internal battery power (using ten D batteries, not included).
Standard AC power (using the supplied AC adapter).
Vehicle battery power (using the supplied DC power cord).
Using Internal Battery Power
You can power the TV from ten D batteries. We recommend alkaline batteries
(such as Cat. No. 23-650) for the longest life.
CAUTIONS: Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended
type.
Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of
batteries.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Carefully turn the TV upside-down and gently push the battery
compartment cover in the direction of the arrow marked on the cover.
Then lift off the cover.
2. Install ten D batteries in the battery compartment as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
CAUTION: Installing the batteries with incorrect polarity can damage
your TV.
3. Replace the cover.
Notes: When the TV picture shrinks or the cassette player's playback
slows, replace the batteries.
Battery life can vary greatly, depending on how you use your
TV/radio/cassette.
CAUTIONS: Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.
If you do not plan to use your TV/radio/cassette for a month or
more, or if you plan to use only AC or DC power, remove the
batteries.
Using AC Power
To use AC power, connect the supplied AC adapter to the DC: 12~15V jack on the
back of TV/radio/cassette. Then plug the other end into a standard AC outlet.
When you connect the AC adapter, the batteries automatically disconnect.
CAUTIONS: The supplied AC adapter supplies 12 volts DC, delivers 1300
milliamps, and has a center positive plug which properly fits
the TV/radio/cassette's DC: 12~15V jack. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications could damage the TV/radio/
cassette or the adapter.
Always unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet before you
unplug it from the TV/radio/cassette.
Using Vehicle Battery Power
Follow these steps to power the TV/radio/cassette from your vehicle's cigarette-
lighter socket using the supplied DC power cord.
1. Make sure the supplied DC power cord's knurled ring is screwed firmly
onto its plug.
2. Plug the small end of the supplied DC power cord into the DC 12~15V
jack on the back of the TV/radio/cassette.
CAUTIONS: The supplied DC power cord supplies 12 volts DC, delivers
1300 milliamps, and has a center positive plug that
properly fits the TV/radio/cassette's DC 12~15V jack.
Using a power cord that does not meet these specifications
could damage the TV/radio/cassette or the power cord.
Always unplug the DC power cord from the cigarette-lighter
socket before you unplug it from the TV/radio/cassette.
3. Plug the large end of the DC power cord into the cigarette-lighter
socket. When you connect the DC power cord, the batteries
automatically disconnect.
Note: If the TV/radio/cassette stops working, check the fuse in the DC
power cord (see "Changing the Fuse" in Faxback Doc. # 51211).
Preparation
Connecting Antennas
Built-in Antenna
The built-in telescoping antenna usually provides good reception of FM, VHF, and
UHF broadcast signals.
Extend the antenna vertically to its full length for channels 2 to 6
(VHF-LOW) and 14 to 69 (UHF).
Extend the antenna to a shorter length for the best reception of channels 7 to
13 (VHF-HIGH).
Outdoor Antenna
For improved reception, you can connect an optional outdoor VHF/UHF antenna to
the ANT IN jack on the back of the TV/radio/cassette using these guidelines.
If the outdoor antenna wire is 300-Ohm double lead-in wire, connect the
wire to the TV/radio/cassette's ANT IN jack using a screw terminal to
1/8-inch plug adapter (such as Cat. No. 15-1148, not supplied).
If the outdoor antenna wire or CATV cable is 75-Ohm coaxial cable,
connect the cable to the TV/radio/cassette's ANT IN jack using an F to
1/8 inch mini plug adapter (such as Cat. No. 278-257, not supplied.
Note to CATV System: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
Installer installer's attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC,
which provides guidelines for proper grounding and,
in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall
be connected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Notes: Your local RadioShack store has a wide selection of antennas and
adapter to choose from.
For better TV signal reception in your vehicle, you can connect a
mobile TV antenna (such as Cat. No. 15-1614, not included).
Connecting Earphones
For private listening, plug a pair of optional earphones with a 1/8-inch (3.5
mm) mini-plug into the PHONES jack on the side of the TV/radio/ cassette.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use earphones.
Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After
you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt
to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort
might still damage your hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear earphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This
can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at
normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
