ANTENNA jack on the back of the "iV,as shown. Also, a headphone
jack is available if you wish to connect headphones.
Step 2: Plug In Your TV
Plug the end of the power cord into the wall outlet, matching the
wide blade of the plug with the wide slot in the outlet. Be sure to
insert the plug completely.
Step 3: Put Batteries in the Remote Control
1. Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the
remote.
2. Insert batteries as shown, matching the + and - ends of each
battery in the compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
Step 4: Turn on the TV
Press the POWER button on the remote or front panel.
Step 5: Auto Channel Search
Perform an Auto Channel Search (described in the Channe/menu
section). This will program all active channels into the TV's channel
scan list.
Dipole Antenna Connection
Follow the steps to connect the indoor antenna supplied with your
"IV (only if you do not connect an outdoor antenna or a cable-TV
system).
Insert the antenna base into the pocketed slot on the back of your
set. Stand at the back of your set with the antenna twin-lead facing
you, and press the base of the antenna into the slot until it locks in
place.
Connect the ends of the twin-lead to the Antenna Adapter (supplied).
Connect the Antenna Adapter to the ANTENNA connector on the
back of the TV.
Later, after you've turned on the TV, adjust the length and position of
the antenna rods for best reception.
• For viewing VHF channels, extend the rods fully.
• For viewing UHF channels, adjust the rods for best reception.

Attaching Your TV to a Cabinet
Follow these instructions if you want to mount your'IV under a cabinet. Do
not insert the bracket into the "IV until the bracket is mounted under a
cabinet. It may be difficult to remove. The mounting hardware packet is
included.
Tools Required:
Rule or tape measure
Phillips screwdriver
Pencil
Blade screwdriver
Drill and 1/4" drill bit
Drill Countersink Attachment (Optional)
(Under Counter Mounting Hardware)

Mounting Considerations:
Make sure the bottom of the cabinet you select is strong enough to
support a "iV.
Allow adequate room for ventilation, room to swivel, access to
control knobs and space for the antenna.
Mount "IV near an AC outlet.
Do not use area directly beneath TV for cooking.
Before mounting, turn the set on to check reception in the area you
have selected (if reception is poor try another location).

Caution
RV Owners: The mounting bracket
provided is not designed for mounting
in RV's or motor homes. The TV may
dislodge from the bracket while the
vehicle is in motion, causing damage or
injury.

Mounting Instructions:
1. Prepare cabinet
Remove items from counter and cabinet.
Clean underside of cabinet where "iV isto be mounted.
2°
3,
Cut out the mounting guide and screw guide
Cut out the guides on the lines indicated.
The size of the mounting guide and the screw hole positions
are identical to the top of the mounting bracket.
Position mounting guide
Position the mounting guide on the underside of cabinet 3/4
inch back from the cabinet's front edge.
Position the mounting guide in the desired location and tape it
to the bottom of the cabinet. Be sure the location is a flat
surface. Some kitchen cabinets have front overhangs as shown
here. If the thickness of the overhang exceeds 3/4 inch, tape
the mounting guide as close to the cabinet's front edge as
possible. The farther back you mount the TV, the less you will
be able to swivel it to the left and right (if cabinet is near wall).
The "IV will protrude about 3" from the cabinet when the
mounting guide is positioned 3/4" back from the cabinet's front
edge.
4. Drill holes in cabinet
5.
Drill 1/4-inch diameter holes through the underside of the
cabinet bottom using the five circles on the mounting guide as
a guide.
Remove mounting guide and drill shavings
Remove the mounting guide and clean the drill shavings from
inside and under the cabinet.
6°
Select spacers if required
The spacers slip over the ends of the screws and allow you to
mount the "IV below the edge of the cabinet's overhang.
If your cabinet does not have an overhang, you probably will
not need to use any spacers.
If your cabinet has an overhang, select the proper length
spacer(s) so the "IV will clear the overhang when swiveled.
Two or three spacers can be used together to make lengths of
1/4" to 1-3/4" at 1/4" increments. Refer to the chart to select
the proper spacers:
Length of Overhang
Less than 1"
1" to 1-1/4"

1-1/2" to 1-3/4"

Proper Mounting
Tips
You may want to start the drill holes
with a nail or an awl.
Splintering will be reduced if you
place masking tape above the hole
locations on the inside of the cabinet.
Be sure to hold the drill firmly against
the cabinet to reduce =walking" of
the drill bit from the markings.
If you have a countersink attachment
for your drill and if you are drilling
through a wood cabinet, you may
wish to countersink the drilled holes
from the inside of the cabinet. Check
thickness or shelf before attemting to
countersink holes. Minimum
thickness should be at least 1/4"
(3/8" or more preferred). This will
eliminate the use of washers and
allow the screw heads to be flush
with the floor of your cabinet. If you
cannot countersink the holes, use the
washers that are supplied.

Select proper length of screws
Only five screws are needed. The size you need depends upon
your type of cabinet.
Holding the selected spacers for one of the screw holes under the
cabinet, install a washer and screw inside the cabinet using one of
the three lengths of screws provided. A visual description of these
parts is on page 3.
Position mounting bracket under cabinet
Position the mounting bracket under the cabinet as shown and
match the screw holes.
9. Attach mounting bracket to cabinet
First mount one corner of the bracket. Hold the bracket and
spacer(s) in place and insert the screw from the inside of the
cabinet down through washer and drilled hole or down through
countersink and drilled hole.
The washers must be used on metal cabinets and on wood
cabinets if you do not countersink the drilled holes. Position the
washer fiat-side down and place screw into screw hole, through the
spacer(s) and through the screw hole in the mounting bracket.
Place a nut into the cylinder at the bottom of the mounting bracket
screw hole. Hold nut in place (if necessary, use the top of a pencil).
While maintaining upward pressure on the mounting bracket,
finger tighten the screw. Do not tighten firmly until all five screws
have been started.
Allign each of the remaining mounting bracket screw holes with the
drilled holes and properly position the selected spacers. Install
washers, screws, and nuts as previously described. Now, finish
tightening the five screws but do not overtighten them.
10. (Optional) Attach Supplied Antenna to Bottom of TV
If you have attached the supplied dipole antenna to the top of your "IV,
you will need to attach it to the bottom of your "IV before mounting it.
If you have connected another type of antenna, skip to step 11.
If the dipole antenna is attached to the top of the "IV, you can
remove it by grasping the base and lifting it up and off.
Insert the antenna base into the pocketed slot on the bottom of
your "IV. Press the base of the antenna into the slot until it locks in
place.
Connect the ends of the Wvin-lead to the antenna adapter
(supplied).
Connect the antenna adapter to the round antenna connector on
the back of the "IV.
Caution
If the screw is too short, it will not
screw into the nut far enough to
securely hold the TV, If the screw is
too long, it may protrude below the
bracket, and the TV could hit it when
swiveled.
