6. Plug in the TV/VCR

Attach the power cord to the back of the TV/VCR. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet, matching the wide blade of the plug with the wide slot in the outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely.

You can also power the TV/VCR with the DC car cord. First, plug the square end of the DC car cord into the jack on the back of the TV. Plug the other end into the cigarette lighter socket of a car or truck. Operate TV/VCR as usual.

Always unplug the DC car cord from the cigarette lighter socket before you unplug the cord from the back of the TV/VCR. Removing the plug from the TV/VCR first may damage the fuse in the DC car cord.

Note: Make sure the vehicle has a negative ground. The DC car cord is designed for use only in cars or trucks with negative (-) ground (negative terminal of car battery is connect to car chassis). The DC car cord should never be used in cars with a positive (+) ground. If you are unable to identify the negative (-) or positive (+) polarity of your car, consult your car’s owner’s manual or check with an authorized service station before use.

Cautions for Car Battery Operation

1.Use of an improper DC power cord or similar adapter may result in damage to your TV/VCR.

2.Do not use the TV/VCR in a car unless the engine is turned on and running to avoid draining the car battery.

3.Do not leave the TV/VCR in a car parked in direct sunlight since the temperature inside the car may damage the TV/VCR.

4.If you take the TV/VCR from a cold car to a warm room do not plug in the set if there is any sign of condensation. This could damage the set. Allow it to adjust to room temperature first.

5.Do not block any of the ventilation slots when the set is turned on. This may cause overheating and damage the set.

7.Turn on the TV/VCR

Press POWER on the front of the TV/VCR or press TV or VCR on the remote. The indicator in the POWER button on the front of the TV/VCR will light when the TV/VCR is on.

IMPORTANT: To turn on the TV/VCR when it is in DC mode, you must press and hold TV or VCR on the remote for more than 3 seconds. This is to prevent the TV/VCR from being turned on accidentally and draining the car battery.
