Rod Antenna

(supplied)

Hooking Up the TV/VCR (cont'd) 7

Mobile Connections

Usually, the supplied rod antenna provides adequate recep- tion. When you want to watch TV outdoors or in a vehicle, try a mobile antenna (not supplied); or, try an indoor dipole antenna (not supplied) for better reception.

Connect an antenna to the ANT(enna)jack as shown at 1-C on page six. If you do not use the supplied rod antenna, refer to the instructions with

your other antenna to make a connection.

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 rear of the TVNCR. Connect the other end of

the car battery cord to the cigarette lighter in your vehicle.

Use only the supplied car battery cord. Using another cord could damage the TV/VCR. Make sure you push

the car battery cord's plug completely into the ciga- rette lighter. Wind the unused AC power cord as shown at right.

Car Battery Cord

Fuse Replacement

If the TV/VCR does not have power when connected prop- erly in your vehicle, 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.

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.

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.

Remove the old fuse and insert a new fuse.

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.)
