USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER
You can power the TV from a vehicle’s 12V
power source (such as a cigarette-lighter
socket) using a 6V, 550-mA DC adapter and a
size B Adaptaplug adapter (neither supplied).
Both are available at your local RadioShack
store.
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.
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. Your local
RadioShack store sells a variety of adapters.
Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V. Insert
the Adaptaplug into the adapter’s cord,
al with TIP. Plug the Adaptaplug’s
barrel plug into the TV’s
DC IN 6V
jack.
Unplug the vehicle’s cigarette lighter and plug
the large end of the DC adapter cord into the
cigarette-lighter socket.
Caution:
Do not leave the adapter plugged
into the cigarette-lighter socket or connected
to the TV when you are not using the TV.
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.
USING THE TV AS A MONITOR
You can play back the signal from an audio/
video component connected to your TV using
a special cable (not supplied), available
through your local RadioShack store (RSU
10005890).
Connect the cable’s yellow plug to the
component’s video output jack and its white
plug to the component’s audio output jack.
Then, plug the cable’s sub-mini plug into the
TV’s
AUDIO/VIDEO
jack.
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:
• If desired, fold out the stand on the back
of the TV and lean the TV on a flat
surface at a convenient angle.
• If reception is poor, adjust the length or
angle of the rod antenna. If the TV is
inside a metal or concrete building,
moving closer to a window might
improve reception.
BACKLIGHT
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.
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.
