Antenna Connection

• The following is a brief explanation of the types of connection that are used for coaxial cables:

(1) If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable, then

the connection to the TV is via DIN45325 plug (shown at right). Plug this into the antenna jack at the rear of the TV set.

(2) If your outdoor antenna uses a 300-ohm twin-lead flat

feeder, change this for a 300-ohm to 75-ohm impedance converter and plug it into the antenna jack at the rear of the TV set.

• This set can only be used for a 12V car battery. Do not use for a 24V battery.

• Battery voltage will turn to DC POWER OFF for protection when it reaches below 11V.

• Power will not turn on even if the battery indicator appears red when the voltage is below 11V.

• When not using the battery, remove the battery clip to avoid battery drain.

• Battery power is disabled while using AC power.

• Wipe any dirt from the battery terminal completely before connecting.

• Do not place any object (such as an antenna rod) besides the battery clip near the battery terminal.

• If you connect both the battery and AC power, AC power will have priority. In case of power failure, it automati-

cally switches to DC power. As soon as AC power recovers, it will switch back to AC power.

• The operating time of the battery varies with the type, brightness and volume. 75AH battery can last for about 10 hours after a full charge.

• Colour shading may occur while using the DC battery. In such case, turn on the power using the AC power and then switch to DC power.
