BATTERIES
Your TV uses four AA batteries (not sup-
plied). For the best results, we recommend
alkaline batteries (RadioShack Cat. No. 23-
552).
1. Lift up the stand, then slide off the bat-
tery compartment’s cover in the direc-
tion of the arrow.
2. Insert four fresh batteries as indicated
by the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside.
Note: You need to insert the first bat-
tery into the bottom row, then install
other batteries over it.
Caution: Installing batteries incorrectly
can damage the TV.
3. Replace the cover.
Note: The TV can operate for about 3 hours
with alkaline batteries. When the sound level
lowers or the picture becomes unstable, re-
place the batteries.
AC POWER
You can power the TV from a standard AC
outlet. You must use an optional AC adapter
that supplies 6 volts and delivers at least
500 mA. Its center tip must be set to posi-
tive, and its plug must correctly fit the TV’s
DC IN 6V jack. (We recommend Cat. No.
273-1664.) Using an adapter that does not
meet these specifications could seriously
damage the TV or the adapter.
Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V. Plug
the adapter’s 3.4 mm outer diameter/1.3 mm
inner diameter barrel plug into the TV’s
DC
IN 6V jack. Then plug the other end of the
adapter into a standard AC outlet.
Notes:
• Do not leave the adapter plugged into
the AC outlet or connected to the TV
when you are not using the TV.
• Always unplug the adapter from the AC
outlet first.
• Internal batteries automatically discon-
nect when you plug an adapter into the
DC IN 6V jack.
• The adapter might become warm after
extended periods of use.
VEHICLE BATTERY POWER
You can use an optional DC adapter to pow-
er the TV from your vehicle’s cigarette-light-
er socket.
You must use a DC adapter that supplies 6
volts and delivers at least 500 mA. Its center
tip must be set to positive, and its plug must
correctly fit the TV’s
DC IN 6V jack. (We rec-
ommend Cat. No. 273-1801.) Using an
adapter that does not meet these specifica-
tions could seriously damage the TV or the
adapter. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to
6V.
1. Plug the adapter’s 3.4 mm outer diame-
ter/1.3 mm inner diameter barrel plug
into the TV’s
DC IN 6V jack.
2. Unplug your vehicle’s cigarette lighter-
and plug the large end of the DC
adapter cord into the cigarette lighter
socket.
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 pushed all the way
into the socket.
• Do not leave the adapter plugged into
the cigarette-lighter socket or con-
nected to the TV when you are not
using the TV.
• Always unplug the adapter from the cig-
arette-lighter socket first.
• Internal batteries automatically discon-
nect when you plug an adapter into the
DC IN 6V jack.
