Using Batteries

Your TV uses three AA batteries (not supplied) for power.  For the best 
results, 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.

1.  Lift up the stand, then press OPEN at the top of the battery
    compartment's cover, on the back of the TV, and remove the cover.

2.  Insert three fresh batteries, aligning the positive (+) poles with the
    positive polarity symbols (+) marked inside.

    CAUTION:  Installing batteries incorrectly can damage the TV.

3.  Replace the cover.

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

        Internal batteries automatically disconnect when you connect an
        adapter.

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

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

AC Power

You can power the TV from a standard AC outlet using an optional AC 
adapter available at your local RadioShack store.

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 6V jack. Using
          an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage
          the TV or the adapter.

1.  Attach the adapter's 4 mm outer diameter/1.7 mm inner diameter barrel
    plug, aligning + with TIP, and plug it into the TV's DC 6V jack.

2.  Plug the other end of the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

CAUTIONS: 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.

          It is normal for the adapter to 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.  Your local RadioShack store sells a variety of 
adapters.

CAUTION:  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 6V jack.  Using an adapter
          that does not meet these specifications could seriously damage
          the TV or the adapter.

1.  Attach the adapter's 4 mm outer diameter/1.7 mm inner diameter barrel
    plug, aligning + with TIP, and plug it into the TV's DC 6V jack.

2.  Unplug your vehicle's cigarette lighter and plug the large end of the
    DC adapter cord into the cigarette lighter socket.

    CAUTIONS: 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.

Note:  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
       has a good connection.
