PREPARATION

POWER SOURCES

You can power the TV from any of three
power sources:

• internal battery power (using four D
batteries (not supplied)

• standard AC power (using an optional
AC adapter)

• vehicle battery power (using an optional
DC power cord)

Internal Battery Power

Your TV requires four D batteries for power.
For the best performance and longest life,
we recommend RadioShack alkaline
batteries.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1. Move the antenna out of the way and
push and lift up the battery cover's
buckle on the back of the TV to open
the battery compartment cover.

2. Install four fresh alkaline batteries as
indicated by the polarity symbols (+
and –) marked inside.

Caution:

Installing batteries incorrectly

can damage the TV.

3. Close the battery cover and push down
the buckle to secure the battery cover.

Note:

The TV can operate for about 9 hours
with alkaline batteries. When the sound
level lowers or the picture becomes
unstable, replace the batteries.
