Batteries

Your TV requires four AA batteries (not supplied).  For the best 
performance and longest life, we recommend alkaline batteries, available 
at your local RadioShack store.

CAUTIONS:  Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended
           type.

           Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
           (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable) or rechargeable batteries
           of different capacities.

Follow these steps to install the batteries.

1.  Gently press down on the battery compartment cover and slide it in the
    direction of the arrow to remove it.

2.  Insert the batteries into the compartment (three above and one below)
    as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.

3.  Replace the cover.

Notes:  The TV can operate for about 3.5 hours with alkaline batteries.
        When the sound level lowers or the picture becomes unstable,
        replace the batteries.

        Internal batteries automatically disconnect when you connect an
        adapter.

CAUTIONS:  Always remove old or weak batteries.  Batteries can leak
           chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

           Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.  Do not bury or
           burn them.

AC Power

You can power the TV from a standard AC outlet using an adapter (not 
supplied).

CAUTION:  You must use an optional Class 2 power source that supplies 6
          volts DC and delivers at least 550 mA.  Its center tip must be
          set to positive and its plug must fit the TV's DC IN 6V jack.
          (We recommend RadioShack Cat. No. 273-1664.)  The recommended
          adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does
          not meet these specifications could damage the TV or the adapter

Set the adapter's voltage switch to 6V.  Plug the adapter's 4.0 mm outer 
diameter/1.7 mm inner diameter barrel plug into the TV's DC IN 6V jack.  
Then plug the other end of the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

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 a DC adapter (not supplied) to power the TV from your 
vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.

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 Cat. No. 273-1815.)  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.  Plug the adapter's 4.0 mm outer 
diameter/1.7 mm inner diameter barrel plug into the TV's DC In 6V jack.  
Then unplug your vehicle's cigarette-lighter and plug the large end of the 
DC adapter into the cigarette-lighter socket.

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

        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.

Connections

Using the TV as a Monitor

You can play back the signal from an audio/video component connected to 
your TV using a special cable (not supplied), available through your local 
RadioShack store (RSU Cat. No. 16-2324).

Connect the cable's white plug to the component's video output jack and 
its red plug to the component's audio output jack.  Then, plug the cable's 
sub-mini plug into the TV's AUDIO/VIDEO jack.
