POWER

BATTERIES

Your TV requires 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 open the battery compartment cover on the back of the TV and remove it.

Three AA Batteries

2.Insert the batteries into the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

Caution: Installing batteries incorrectly can damage the TV.

3.Replace the cover.

Note: The TV can operate for about 3.5 hours with alkaline batteries. When the sound level lowers or the picture becomes unstable, replace the batteries.

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.

Note: Internal batteries automatically disconnect when you connect an adapter.

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

520 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the TV's DC 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.

1.Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V.

2.Plug the adapter’s 4.0 mm outer diameter/1.7 mm inner diameter barrel plug into the TV’s DC 6V jack.

3.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.

It is normal for the adapter to become warm after extended periods of use.

USING 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.Your local RadioShack store has a large variety of DC adapters.
