VEHICLE BATTERY POWER
You can use an optional DC adapter to power
the TV from a vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket
if the vehicle has a 12-volt DC, negative
ground electrical system.
Cautions:
You must use a 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 DC adapter to the
TV before you connect it to the power
source. When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from the power source before
you disconnect it from the TV.
1. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V.
2. Attach the adapter’s 4 mm outer
diameter/1.7 mm inner diameter
barrel plug, al with TIP, and
plug it into the TV’s
DC IN 6V
jack.
3. Unplug the 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 disconnect 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 is
properly connected to the socket.
1. Extend the rod antenna and slide
UHF/
VHF/OFF
to
VHF
or
UHF
. The TV starts
scanning and stops at the next active
channel in the selected band.
2. Press
TUNING
to tune to a
different channel. The tuning line on the
screen aligns with the selected channel
number below the screen.
3. To adjust the volume,
rotate
VOLUME
located on the right side of the TV.
4. 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 might be
slightly red in color. This is not a
malfunction. Normal operation resumes
after a few seconds.
• If reception is poor, adjust the length or
angle of the rod 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 at a convenient angle.
USING THE TV AS A MONITOR
You can play back the signal from an audio/
video component connected to 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
AUDIO/VIDEO
jack.
Note:
Connecting an audio/video component
disables the TV’s antenna.
USING AN EARPHONE
For private listening, you can connect an
optional earphone with a
1
/
8
-inch plug to the
EAR
jack. This automatically mutes the built-
in speaker.
