NOTES: •ALWAYS TURN THE TV/DVD TO “OFF”
BEFORE SWITCHING THE IGNITION OF
THE CAR ENGINE.
•Make sure that the negative terminal of the
battery is grounded.
This set is designed for use with negative
grounding systems only.
•Use the supplied car cord only.
•
When the TV/DVD is not in use, always discon-
nect it from the car cigarette lighter socket to
avoid a battery drain.
•If the TV/DVD is to be directly connected to a
12V DC power source, for example, recrea-
tional vehicle (RV) applications, make sure
the power cord is connected after the ignition
switch to avoid battery drain.
•
Do not operate the TV/DVD if the car battery is
weak. Peak current from the car alternator could
blow the DC fuse.
•Check the battery’s charge level regularly
when the TV/DVD is used in a vehicle.

REPLACING THE FUSE IN THE CAR

BATTERY CORD PLUG

If the fuse in the car battery cord plug blows, replace
it with a new 8 A fuse (Fast Blow Type) as shown
below. Unscrew the tip of the plug to remove.
PLUG 8A FUSE
TIP
Connect the VHF 75 ohm cable and UHF 300 ohm
twin-lead wire to the Combiner (not supplied). Attach
the Combiner to the Antenna Jack.
If you are using an indoor or outdoor antenna, fol-
low the instructions below that correspond to your
antenna system. If you are using a cable TV service
(CATV), see page 14 for Cable TV connections.
Connect the UHF 300 ohm twin-lead wire to the Combiner
(not supplied). Connect the VHF 300 ohm twin-lead
wire to the 300-75 ohm Matching Transformer. Attach
the Transformer to the Combiner, then attach the
Combiner to the Antenna Jack.
Connect the 75 ohm cable from the combination VHF/
UHF antenna to the Antenna Jack.
If your combination VHF/UHF antenna has a 300 ohm
twin-lead wire, the use of the 300-75 ohm Matching
Transformer may be necessary.
