POWER SOURCES

You can power your TV/radio/cassette from three power sources:

•internal battery power (using ten D batteries, not included)

•standard AC power (using the sup- plied AC adapter)

•vehicle battery power (using the supplied DC power cord)

USING INTERNAL

BATTERY POWER

You can power the TV from ten D batter- ies. We recommend alkaline batteries (such as Cat. No. 23-650) for the long- est life.

Cautions:

•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

•Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1.Carefully turn the TV upside-down and gently push the battery com- partment cover in the direction of the arrow marked on the cover. Then lift off the cover.

2.Install ten D batteries in the battery compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

Caution: Installing the batteries with incorrect polarity can damage your TV.

3. Replace the cover.

Notes:

•When the TV picture shrinks or the cassette player’s playback slows, replace the batteries.

•Battery life can vary greatly, depending on how you use your TV/ radio/cassette.

Cautions:

•Always remove old or weak batter- ies. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

•Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

•If you do not plan to use your TV/ radio/cassette for a month or more, or if you plan to use only AC or DC power, remove the batteries.
