Cautions:
You must use a power 
source that supplies 6V DC 
and delivers at least 520 
mA. Its center tip must be 
set to positive and its plug must fit the 
TV's 
DC 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 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.
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.
