Cautions:
You must use a power
source that supplies 6V DC
and delivers at least 550
mA. Its center tip must be
set to positive and its plug must fit the
TV's
DC IN 6V
jack. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifications
could damage the TV or the adapter.
• Always connect the DC adapter to the
TV before you connect it to the power
source. When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from the power source before
you disconnect it from the TV.
1. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V.
2. Attach the adapter’s 4 mm outer
diameter/1.7 mm inner diameter barrel
plug, aligning + with TIP, and plug it
into the TV’s
DC IN 6V
jack.
3. Unplug the vehicle’s cigarette lighter and
plug the large end of the DC adapter
cord into the cigarette-lighter socket.
Cautions:
• Do not leave the adapter plugged into
the cigarette-lighter socket or connected
to the TV when you are not using the TV.
• Always disconnect the adapter from the
cigarette-lighter socket first.
Notes:
• 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.
• Internal batteries automatically
disconnect when you connect an adapter
to the
DC IN 6V
jack.
1. Extend the telescoping rod antenna.
2. Set
UHF/VHF/OFF
to
VHF
or
UHF
. The
TV starts scanning and stops at the next
active channel in the selected band.
3. Press
TUNING
to tune to a
different channel. The tuning line (green
for UHF, red for VHF) on the screen
aligns with the channel number shown at
the top (VHF) or bottom (UHF) of the
screen.
4. To adjust the volume,
rotate
VOLUME
located on the right side of the TV.
5. To adjust the picture to the desired
brightness, rotate
BRIGHT
located on the
right side 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 is slightly red
in color. This is not a malfunction.
Normal operation resumes after a short
while.
• If reception is poor, adjust the length or
angle, and direction of the telescoping
rod antenna. If inside a metal or concrete
building, moving closer to a window
might improve reception.
• If desired, fold out the stand on the back
of the TV and lean the TV on a flat
surface.
USING AN EARPHONE
For private listening, you can connect an
optional earphone with a
1
/
8
-inch plug to the
TV’s
PHONE
jack. This automatically mutes
the built-in speaker.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an earphone.
• 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.
