Cautions:

You must use a power

!source that supplies 6V DCand 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, aligning + 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.

Notes:

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.

Internal batteries automatically disconnect when you connect an adapter to the DC IN 6V jack.

Using Your TV

3.Press TUNING to tune to a different channel. The tuning line (green for UHF, red for VHF) on the screen aligns with the channel number shown at the top (VHF) or bottom (UHF) of 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 is slightly red in color. This is not a malfunction.

Normal operation resumes after a short while.

If reception is poor, adjust the length or angle, and direction of the telescoping 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.

USING AN EARPHONE

For private listening, you can connect an optional earphone with a 1/8-inch plug to the TV’s PHONE 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.
