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.
