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.
