BATTERIES
Your TV uses three AA batteries (not
supplied) for power. 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 off the battery compartment’s cover
(on the front of the TV) in the direction
of the arrow, and remove it.
2. Insert three fresh batteries into the
compartment 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 for about 3 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
to the
DC IN 6V
jack.
Warning:
Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not bury or burn 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.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
power source that supplies
6V 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. Using an
adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the TV or
the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
TV before you connect it to AC power.
When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before you
disconnect it from the TV.
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.
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.
• The adapter might become warm after
extended periods of use.
