8 Hooking Up the TV/VCR (cont’d)

Mobile Connections

Usually, the supplied indoor rod antenna provides adequate reception. But when you want to watch TV outdoors or in a vehicle, use a mobile antenna (not supplied) or an indoor dipole antenna (not supplied) and a car battery cord (supplied) to get good reception.

1

Connect an antenna to the ANT(enna) jack. Refer to the instructions with your mobile antenna to make a connection simi- lar to this one.

ANT.

2

Make sure your vehicle has a 13.2-volt, negative ground electrical system. Connect one end of the car battery cord to the DC 13.2V jack on the back of the TV/VCR. Then connect the other end of the car battery cord to the cigarette lighter in your vehicle.

Fuse Replacement

(Car Battery Cord)

If the TV/VCR does not have power when connected properly in your vehicle, you may need to replace the fuse in the car battery cord.

Use only a 5-amp, 250-volt, fast blow fuse, which is available at an electronics retailer.

1

To remove the old fuse, unscrew the red cap from the end of the cord. Place your fingers on the grooved part of the cap and turn the cap counter-clockwise.

2

When the cap is removed, the red cap and the silver tip will be loose. The fuse will be loose inside the end of the cord.

3

Remove the old fuse and insert a new fuse.

4

Replace the red cap and the silver tip. The fuse will tighten into place as you screw on the cap, turning the cap clockwise. (The end of the fuse will fit into the silver tip, which is in the center of the red cap when tightened.)

Helpful Hints

Do not watch TV while driving.

Use only the supplied car battery cord. Using another cord could dam- age the TV/VCR.

Make sure the cigarette lighter jack is free of ashes and other debris.

Make sure you push the car battery cord’s plug completely into the ciga- rette lighter.

Always unplug the car battery cord from the cigarette lighter before you unplug it from the TV/VCR.

You must disconnect the car battery cord from the TV/VCR before you can use standard electrical (AC) power.

If you use the TV/VCR with the vehi- cle’s engine off, recharge the vehicle’s battery every four hours. Unplug the car battery cord from the cigarette lighter when you finish using the TV/VCR.

When you use the TV/VCR with a car battery cord, noise may appear on the TV/VCR screen.

Do not use this TV/VCR in high tem- perature conditions.
