Pocketvision-36 Color TV (160-0173) Power Sources Faxback Doc. # 31246 BATTERIES Your TV uses three AA batteries (not supplied). For best results, we recommend alkaline batteries. 1. Lift the stand and slide off the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow. 2. Insert three AA alkaline batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside the battery compartment. 3. Replace the cover. NOTE: The TV can operate for about 2 hours with alkaline batteries. When the sound level lowers or the picture becomes unstable, replace the batteries. AC POWER You can power the TV from a standard AC outlet. You must use an optional AC adapter (273-1664 not supplied) that supplies 6 volts and delivers at least 500 mA. Its center tip must be set to negative, and its plug must correctly fit the TV's DC IN 6V jack. 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. 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. The internal batteries automatically disconnect when you plug the adapter into the DC IN 6V jack. The adapter might become warm after extended periods of use. This is normal. VEHICLE BATTERY OPERATION You can use an optional DC adapter ( 273-1801 not supplied) to power the TV from your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket if your vehicle has a 12-volt DC, negative ground electrical system. You must use a DC adapter that supplys 6 volts and delivers at least 500 mA. Its center tip must be set to negative, and its plug must correctly fit the TV's DC IN 6V jack. 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. 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 connected to the TV when you are not using the TV. Always unplug the adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket first. The internal batteries automatically disconnect when you plug the adapter into the DC IN 6V jack. (SP/YO 3/13/96)
