USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER

You can power the TV from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as a cigarette-lighter socket) using a 6V, 550-mA DC adapter and a size B Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither supplied).

Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V. Insert the Adaptaplug into the adapter’s cord,

aligning + with TIP. Plug the Adaptaplug’s barrel plug into the TV’s jack. Unplug the vehicle’s cigarette lighter and plug the large end of the DC adapter cord into the cigarette-lighter socket.

Note: If the TV does not operate properly when you use DC power, be sure the cigarette- lighter socket is clean and that the adapter’s plug is properly connected to the socket.

This automatically mutes the built-in speaker.

Cautions:

Set VOLUME to the lowest setting before you begin listening. Then adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

Do not use an earphone when operating a vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can cause a traffic hazard and can be illegal in some areas.

USING THE TV AS A MONITOR

You can play back the signal from an audio/video component connected to your TV’s AUDIO/VIDEO jack. You will need a Y-adapter cable (not supplied), available at your local RadioShack store. Connect the cable’s red plug to the component’s video output jack, and its white plug to the component’s audio output jack. Then, plug the cable’s mini plug into the TV’s AUDIO/VIDEO jack.

Note: Connecting an audio/video component disables the TV’s antenna.
