Power Sources

You can power the TV from any of three power sources:

  Internal battery power (using four D batteries [not supplied]).

  Standard AC power (using an optional AC adapter).

  Vehicle battery power (using an optional DC power cord).

Internal Battery Power

Your TV requires four D batteries for power.  For the best performance and 
longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

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 batteries.

1.  Move the antenna out of the way and push and lift up the battery
    cover's buckle on the back of the TV to open the battery compartment
    cover.

2.  Install four fresh alkaline batteries as indicated by the polarity
    symbols (+ and -) marked inside.

    CAUTION:  Installing batteries incorrectly can damage the TV.

3.  Close the battery cover and push down the buckle to secure the battery
    cover.

Note:  The TV can operate for about 9 hours with alkaline batteries.  When
       the sound level lowers or the picture becomes unstable, replace the
       batteries.

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

CAUTION:  If you do not plan to use the TV with batteries for an extended
          period, remove the batteries.  Batteries can leak chemicals that
          can destroy electronic parts.

To access the EARPHONE, DC 6V IN, and AV IN jacks on the back of the TV, 
use a flat-blade screwdriver to unscrew the locking screw.

Remove the cover and connect the adapter or earphone plug.  Store the 
cover when you are using the jacks and securely replace it when the jacks 
are not in use.

AC Power

CAUTION:  You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 6 volts DC and
          delivers at least 1,000 mA.  Its center tip must be set to
          positive and its plug must fit the TV's DC 6V IN jack.  (We
          recommend RadioShack Cat. No. 273-1680.)  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 barrel plug 
into the TV's DC 6V IN 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.

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

        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.

CAUTION:  You must use a DC adapter that supplies 6 volts and delivers at
          least 1,000 mA.  Its center plug must be set to positive and its
          plug must fit the TV's DC 6V IN jack.  (We recommend RadioShack
          Cat. No. 273-1801.)  Using an adapter that does not meet these
          specifications could damage the TV or the adapter.

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

2.  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.

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