BATTERIES
Your TV requires four AA batteries (not supplied). For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:

• 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. Gently press down on the battery compartment cover and slide it in the direction of the arrow to remove it.
2. Insert the batteries into the compartment (three above and one below) as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
Notes:
• The TV can operate for about 3.5 hours with alkaline batteries. When the sound level lowers or the picture becomes unstable, replace the batteries.
• The TV’s internal batteries automatically disconnect when you connect an adapter.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your TV’s electronic parts.

VHF/OFF to VHF or UHF. The TV starts
scanning and stops at the next active channel in the selected band.
2. Press different channel. The tuning line on the screen aligns with the selected channel number below the screen.
3. To adjust the volume, located on the right side of the TV.
4. To adjust the picture to the desired brightness, rotate right side of the TV. The brightness also changes with the screen’s angle.
Notes:
• If desired, fold out the stand on the back of the TV and lean the TV on a flat surface at a convenient angle.
• If reception is poor, adjust the length or angle of the rod antenna. If the TV is inside a metal or concrete building, moving closer to a window might improve reception.
BACKLIGHT
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 resumes after a few seconds.
USING AN EARPHONE
For private listening, you can connect an optional earphone with a
EAR jack. This automatically mutes the
built-in speaker.
