Pocketvision-36 Color TV (160-0173) Connections Faxback Doc. # 31244 CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL ANTENNA If you are in an area with weak TV signals, or are inside a metal or concrete building, you might need an external outdoor antenna to improve reception. Connect the antenna to the EXT ANT jack. If your antenna wire is 75-ohm coaxial cable, use an F-to-mini plug adapter to complete the connection. If you have 300-ohm wire, use a 300-to-75 ohm mini-plug adapter. USING THE TV AS A MONITOR You can play back the signal from an audio/video component on your TV using a special cable (not supplied), available at your local Radio Shack store. Connect the cable's yellow plug to the component's video output jack and its white plug to the component's audio output jack. Then plug the cable's sub-mini plug into the TV's AUDIO/VIDEO jack. NOTES: Do not use standard audio patch cords. This distorts the audio and video signals. The TV cannot receive antenna or cable TV signals when an audio/video component is connect. USING YOUR TV 1. Extend the 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 < or > to tune to the next active channel. The tuning line on the screen aligns with the selected channel number above the screen. 4. Adjust VOLUME. 5. Adjust BRIGHT for the desired brightness. The brightness also changes with the screen's angle. NOTES: If desired, fold out the stand on the back of the TV and lean the TV on a flat surface at a convenient viewing angle. If reception is poor, adjust the length or angle of the rod antenna. If inside a metal or concrete building, moving closer to a window might improve reception. BACKLIGHT In low temperature, the TV screen takes a few seconds to light, or it might be slightly red in color. This is not a malfunction. Normal operation resumes after a short while. USING AN EARPHONE For private listening, you can connect an option earphone with a 1/8-inch plug to the EAR jack. This automatically mutes the built-in speaker. CAUTIONS: Set VOLUME to the lowest setting before you begin listening. Then, adjust the volume to a comfortable level. Do not wear the earphone while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can cause a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. (SP/YO 3/13/96)
