PREPARATION  
POWER SOURCES  
You can power the TV from any of  
three power sources:  
• internal battery power (using four  
D batteries (not supplied)  
PUSH  
PUSH  
• standard AC power (using an  
optional AC adapter)  
• vehicle battery power (using an  
optional DC power cord)  
2. Install four fresh alkaline batteries  
as indicated by the polarity sym-  
bols (+ and –) marked inside.  
Internal Battery Power  
Your TV requires four D batteries for  
power. For the best performance and  
longest life, we recommend Ra-  
dioShack alkaline batteries.  
Cautions:  
• Use only fresh batteries of the  
required size and recommended  
type.  
• Do not mix old and new batteries,  
different types of batteries (stan-  
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable),  
or rechargeable batteries of differ-  
ent capacities.  
Caution: Installing batteries incor-  
rectly can damage the TV.  
Follow these steps to install batteries.  
3. Close the battery cover and push  
down the buckle to secure the bat-  
tery cover.  
1. Move the antenna out of the way  
and push and lift up the battery  
cover's buckle on the back of the  
TV to open the battery compart-  
ment cover.  
Note: The TV can operate for about 9  
hours with alkaline batteries. When  
the sound level lowers or the picture  
becomes unstable, replace the batter-  
ies.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries  
promptly and properly. Do not burn or  
bury them.  
AC Power  
Caution: You must use a  
Class 2 power source that  
supplies 6 volts DC and deliv-  
ers at least 1,000 mA. Its center tip  
must be set to positive and its plug  
!
Caution: If you do not plan to use the  
TV with batteries for an extended peri-  
od, remove the batteries. Batteries  
can leak chemicals that can destroy  
electronic parts.  
must fit the TV's  
jack. (We  
DC 6V IN  
recommend RadioShack Cat. No.  
273-1680.) Using an adapter that  
does not meet these specifications  
could damage the TV or the adapter.  
To access the EARPHONE, DC 6V IN,  
and AV IN jacks on the back of the TV,  
use a flat-blade screwdriver to un-  
screw the locking screw.  
Set the adapter's voltage switch to 6V.  
Plug the adapter's barrel plug into the  
TV's DC 6V IN jack. Then plug the other  
end of the adapter into a standard AC  
outlet.  
Remove the cover and connect the  
adapter or earphone plug. Store the  
cover when you are using the jacks  
and securely replace it when the jacks  
are not in use.  
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  
disconnect when you plug an  
adapter into the DC 6V IN jack.  
• The adapter might become warm  
after extended periods of use.

• Internal batteries automatically  
disconnect when you plug an  
adapter into the DC 6V IN jack.  
Vehicle Battery Power  
You can use an optional DC adapter  
to power the TV from your vehicle's  
cigarette-lighter socket.  
Caution: You must use a DC  
adapter that supplies 6 volts  
and delivers at least 1,000  
mA. Its center plug must be set to pos-  
!
itive and its plug must fit the TV's  
DC  
jack. (We recommend Ra-  
6V IN  
dioShack Cat. No. 273-1801.) Using  
an adapter that does not meet these  
specifications could damage the TV or  
the adapter.  
1. Plug the adapter's barrel plug into  
the TV's DC 6V IN jack.  
2. Unplug your vehicle's cigarette  
lighter and plug the large end of  
the DC adapter cord into the ciga-  
rette-lighter socket.  
Notes:  
• If the TV does not operate prop-  
erly 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  
connected to the TV when you are  
not using the TV.  
• Always unplug the adapter from  
the cigarette-lighter socket first.

OPERATION  
1. Extend the built-in rod antenna.  
5. Slowly adjust the antenna direc-  
tion to get the best picture.  
2. Press POWER to turn on the TV.  
3. Press VHF/UHF to select VHF or  
UHF. The TV starts scanning and  
stops at the next active channel in  
the selected band. A vertical blue  
line moves across the screen  
when scanning VHF channels; a  
vertical green line moves when  
scanning UHF channels.  
Notes:  
• If desired, fold out the stand on  
the back of the TV and lean the  
TV on a flat surface at a conve-  
nient angle. The stand can also be  
used as a handle to carry the TV.  
• If reception is poor, adjust the  
length or angle of the rod antenna.  
If inside a metal or concrete build-  
ing, moving closer to a window  
might improve reception.  
Note: If the scanning line appears  
vague or the tuned channel can-  
not be locked when operating in  
battery power, the batteries might  
be weak. Replace them with new  
alkaline batteries.  
• Be sure to attach the connecting  
jacks' cover on the back securely  
when operating the TV in a wet  
area.  
4. Press CHANNEL < or > to tune to  
the desired channel. The scan-  
ning line on the screen aligns with  
the selected channel number  
below the screen and then disap-  
pears when the channel is  
received.  
To adjust the brightness, press  
BRIGHT – or +. The brightness  
also changes with the screen's  
angle.  
To adjust the volume, press VOL-  
UME – or +.

For private listening, you can connect  
1

an optional earphone with a / -inch  
(3.5 mm) plug to the EARPHONE jack  
on the back. This automatically mutes  
the built-in speaker.  
USING THE AV IN JACK  
The AV IN jack on the back of the TV  
lets you connect a VCR, camcorder,  
or VCD to the TV. To connect the vid-  
eo equipment to the TV, you need an  
Audio/Video adapter plug. (We recom-  
mend RadioShack Cat. No. 42-2475,  
not supplied.)  
protect your hearing, follow these  
guidelines when you use earphones.  
• Set the volume to the lowest set-  
ting before you begin listening.  
After you begin listening, adjust  
the volume to a comfortable level.  
Connect the cable’s red plug into the  
component’s video output jack and its  
white plug into the component’s audio  
output jack. Then, plug the cable’s  
black mini plug into the TV’s AV IN  
jack. The TV automatically switches to  
the AV mode. When you disconnect  
the video source's signal cord, the TV  
automatically returns to the TV mode.  
• Do not listen at extremely high  
volume levels. Extended high-vol-  
ume listening can lead to perma-  
nent 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

function and invalidate its warranty. If  
your TV is not performing as it should,  
take it to your local RadioShack store  
for assistance.

location. In locations with poor  
reception, it might be impossible  
to get a clear picture or any pic-  
ture at all.
