Powering Your Spacemaker™
Optional Rechargeable Battery
The rechargeable battery (No. RT007) is an optional accessory
available from your local GE dealer. You can also use the order
form on page 17 to order a battery. When fully charged, the bat-
tery will supply about 2 to 2-
1
⁄
2
hours of operating time.
Charging Instructions
• The battery is initially fully charged. However the battery may
not give full operating time with it’s initial use.
• To recharge the battery, use the charger that came packed with
the battery.
1.
Connect the 2-wire plug from the charger to the matching
connector on the battery. This connection has been designed
so that connection can only be made one way.
2.
Plug the charger into any 120-volt AC wall outlet and the bat-
tery will begin its recharge cycle. The battery should be
recharged for 24 hours after each use.
Notes:
• Your rechargeable battery can be used with as little as 18 hours
of daily recharging for a limited period, up to two weeks. After
such use, it is recommended that you recharge the battery for
48 hours, to maintain maximum play time and battery life.
• For maximum battery life, start recharging the battery within
24 hours of each use. Disconnect the battery from the charger
after 48 hours because additional charging wastes energy and
may shorten battery life.
Operating Instructions
Be sure to recharge the battery before and after use.
1. Unplug the TV’s power cord from the wall outlet and com-
pletely remove the cord from the AC POWER jack on
the side of the TV.
2.
Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the TV.
Press down on the two top tabs and gently remove the cover.
3.
Insert the battery into the compartment with the negative (-)
contacts to the left and the positive (+) contacts to the right as
shown inside the TV. Your TV may be damaged if the battery
is not properly connected.
4.
Replace the battery compartment cover by first inserting the
bottom two tabs and then gently pressing the cover closed at
the top.
5.

PRECAUTIONS
• To prevent damage which may result in fire or shock haz-
ard, do not operate the television set on battery power
while recharging the battery.
• Avoid charging the battery in temperature over 104° F.
This will reduce the battery life.
• Be sure to recharge the battery before and after use. If left
uncharged for a long period of time, the battery will be
excessively discharged resulting in a shorter life.
• Never store battery in temperatures above 100° F or in
direct strong sunlight.
• Do not short circuit battery.
• Do not place battery in fire.
CAUTION: When the TV picture shrinks approximately
1⁄4
inch on each side, the battery is discharged. Continued use of
the battery without recharging will damage it. Remove the
battery from the TV and recharge it according to the
instructions at the left.
