(160-0127)             Care And Maintenance           Faxback Doc. # 31866

Your Portavision Portable 4.5-Inch Black and White VHF/UHF Television is
an example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions
will help you care for the television so you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the television dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. 
    Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.

    Use and store the television only in normal temperature environments,
    and avoid sudden temperature changes.  Temperature extremes can shorten
    the life of electronic devices, and distort or melt plastic parts.

    Handle the television gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage the
    circuit boards and cause the television to work improperly.

    Keep the television away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
    wear of parts.

    Wipe the television with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
    new.  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
    detergents to clean the television.

Modifying or tampering with the television's internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate the warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.  If the television is not performing as it
should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.

CHANGING THE FUSE

If the TV does not work using vehicle battery power, check the fuse in the
DC adapter cord.  If the fuse is blown, replace it with a 3-amp fuse, such
as Radio Shack Cat. No. 270-1276.  Do not use a fuse with a higher rating.

Screw the fuse holder's cap in a counter-clockwise direction to remove it. 
Screw it clockwise to put it back on.

operating properly.  To determine whether your television is causing the
interference.  turn off your television.  If the interference goes away,

    circuit than the TV or radio receiving interference.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your television.
