Using Your TV

1.  Extend the telescoping rod antenna.

2.  Set OFF/VHF/UHF to VHF or UHF.  The TV starts scanning and stops at
    the first active channel in the selected band.

3.  Press TUNING < or > to tune to a different channel.  The tuning line
    (red for VHF, green for UHF) on the screen aligns with the channel
    number shown below the screen.

4.  To adjust the volume, rotate VOLUME located on the right side of the
    TV.

5.  To adjust the picture to the desired brightness, rotate BRIGHT located
    on the right side of the TV.  The brightness also changes with the
    screen's angle.

Notes:  In low temperatures, the TV screen takes a few seconds to light,
        or it may be slightly red in color.  This in not a malfunction.
        Normal operation resumes after a short while.

        If reception is poor, adjust the length, angle, and direction of
        the telescoping antenna.  If inside a metal or concrete building,
        moving closer to a window might improve reception.

        If desired, fold out the stand on the back of the TV and lean the
        TV on a flat surface.

Using an Earphone

For private listening, you can connect an optional earphone with a 1/8
inch (3.5 mm) plug to the TV's EAR jack.  This automatically mutes the 
built-in speaker.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone.

  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 an earphone 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.

Using the TV as a Monitor

You can play back the signal from an audio/video component on your TV 
using a Y-adapter cable (not supplied).  We recommend RadioShack Cat. No. 
42-2475 available at your local RadioShack store.

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 AV IN jack.  Set OFF/VHF/UHF to either VHF or 
UHF to view the signal from the component.

Note:  Connecting an audio/video component disables the TV's tuner.
