Installing Batteries
Your TV uses eight AA batteries (not supplied) for power. We recommend alkaline batteries, available at your local RadioShack store.
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 the batteries.
1. Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing down the stopper on the right side of the cover. Slide it in the direction of the arrow to unlock it, and pull down to remove it.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the lock screw on the battery compartment
cover. Then insert a flat blade screw­driver into the slot on the right side of the battery compartment cover to pry off the cover.
3. Insert eight fresh batteries into the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
Caution: Installing batteries incorrectly can damage the TV.
4. Insert the two locking tabs on the battery cover into their locking slots on the battery compartment. Then press the cover down to snap it into place.
5. Secure the battery cover with the screw.
6. Align the four locking tabs on the battery cover with their locking slots on the back of the TV. Then slide the battery compartment cover to the left to lock it.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not bury or burn them.
Caution: Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
Notes:
• The TV can operate for 2 to 3 hours with alkaline batteries. When the sound level lowers or the picture becomes unstable, replace the batteries.
• Power from the batteries automatically disconnects when you connect power to the
DC12V jack.

AC Power
You can power the TV using the supplied AC adapter.
Caution:
You must use a regulated ITE power source that supplies
12V DC and delivers at least 800 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the TV's
DC 12V jack. The supplied AC adapter
meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the TV or the adapter.
Insert the AC adapter’s barrel plug into the TV’s
DC 12V jack. Then plug the other end
of the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet.
Cautions:
• Do not leave the adapter plugged into the AC outlet or connected to the TV when you are not using the TV.
• The adapter might become warm after extended periods of use.
Vehicle Battery Power
You can power the TV from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as a cigarette-lighter socket) using the supplied DC adapter.
Caution:
You must use a power source that supplies 12V DC and
delivers at least 800 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the TV's
DC 12V jack. The
supplied DC adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the TV or the adapter.
Plug the DC adapter’s barrel plug into the TV’s
DC 12V jack. Unplug the vehicle’s
cigarette lighter and plug the large end of the DC adapter into the cigarette-lighter socket.
Caution: Do not leave the adapter plugged into the cigarette-lighter socket or connected to the TV when you are not using the TV.
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.
Using the Stand
You can attach the supplied stand to the bottom of the TV. This lets you tilt the TV to the desired viewing angle and to obtain the desired picture brightness.
You can also use the stand to permanently mount the TV on a flat surface such as a desk, shelf, or table. To mount the TV on a flat surface, drive two screws (not supplied) into the mounting holes at each end of the stand to lock the stand in place, then attach the TV to it.

To attach the stand to the TV, rotate the locking knob on the bottom of the TV clockwise until the locking screw engages.
To remove the stand, rotate the locking knob counterclockwise until the locking screw disengages.
Using Your TV
1. Extend the rod antenna and press VHF/
UHF
on top of the TV to select VHF or UHF. The TV starts scanning and stops at the next active channel in the selected band.
2. Press
CHANNEL ) or ( on top of the
TV to tune to a different channel. The tuning line on the screen aligns with the selected channel number below the screen.
3. To adjust the volume, press

or - on top of the TV.
4. To adjust the picture to the desired brightness, press
BRIGHTNESS ) or
( on top of the TV. The brightness also
changes with the screen’s angle.
Notes:
• In low temperatures, the TV screen takes a few seconds to light, or it might be slightly red in color. This is not a malfunction. Normal operation occurs after a few seconds.
• If reception is poor, adjust the length or angle of the rod antenna. If inside a metal or concrete building, moving closer to a window might improve reception.
Using Your TV as a Monitor
You can play back the signal from an audio/ video component connected to your TV using a Y-adapter cable (not supplied). Y­adapter cables are available at your local RadioShack store.
Connect the adapter’s red plug to the component’s audio right output jack and the adapter’s white plug to the component’s audio left output jack. Then connect the video cable’s yellow plug to the component’s video output jack and the other end to the
VIDEO INPUT jack on the TV. Then connect
the adapter’s stereo mini plug into the
AUDIO INPUT jack on the TV.
Note: Connecting an audio/video component disables the TV’s antenna.

Connecting an External Antenna
If you are in an area with weak TV signals, or are inside a metal or concrete building, you might need an external outdoor antenna to improve reception. Connect the antenna to the ANT jack on the left side of the TV.
To connect an external antenna, you need an external antenna adapter with a
1
/8-inch (3.5 mm) mini plug on one end and an F connector at the other end. An antenna adapter is available at your local RadioShack store.
Using A Headphone
For private listening, you can connect an optional headphone with a
1
/8-inch plug to
the * jack on the left side of the TV. This automatically mutes the built-in speakers. You can also enjoy stereo sound from your DVD player or VCR with the TV by connect­ing a stereo headphone to the * jack.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt
to the volume level. So a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.
Even though some headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
Troubleshooting
Your TV is built under strict quality control standards and should work without problems by following the instructions in this Owner’s Manual. However, if you encounter a problem, the following hints might help.
Color too light or no color.
• Extend the antenna and adjust its angle and direction.
Part of the picture is too dark.
• Be sure the batteries are fresh and inserted correctly.
• The TV might be cold. Place it in a location warmer than 68
º
F to warm it
up.
No picture and no sound.
