Batteries

Your TV requires three 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.  Slide open the battery compartment cover on the back of the TV and
    remove it.

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

    CAUTION:  Installing the batteries incorrectly can damage the TV.

3.  Replace the cover.

Note:  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.

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 optional AC 
adapter.  (We recommend RadioShack Cat. No. 273-1664.)

CAUTION:  You must use an optional Class 2 power source that supplies 6
          volts AC and delivers at least 520 mA.  Its center tip must be
          set to positive and its plug must fit the TV's DC 6V jack.  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.  
Plug the other end of the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Notes:  Internal batteries automatically disconnect when you connect an
        adapter.

        It is normal for the adapter to become warm after extended periods
        of use.

        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.

Vehicle Battery Power

You can use an optional DC adapter to power the TV from your vehicle's 
cigarette lighter socket.  (We recommend Cat. No. 273-1815.)

CAUTION:  You must use a DC adapter that supplies 6 volts and delivers at
          least 520 mA.  Its center plug must be set to positive, and its
          plug must correctly fit the TV's DC 6V jack.  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, 
aligning it with the positive tip.  Then unplug your vehicle's cigarette 
lighter and plug the large end of the DC adapter cord into the cigarette 
lighter socket.

Notes:  Internal batteries automatically disconnect when you connect an
        adapter.

        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
        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.
