(160-0164)                 Preparation                Faxback Doc. # 31873

You can power the TV with internal batteries, AC power (with an optional
AC adapter), or your vehicle's battery (with an optional DC adapter).

USING BATTERY POWER

Your TV uses four AA batteries (not supplied).  For best results, we
recommend alkaline batteries such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-552.

1.  Lift the stand and slide off the battery compartment's cover in the
    direction of the arrow.

2.  Insert four AA alkaline batteries, as indicated by the polarity
    symbols (+ and -) marked inside the battery compartment.

    CAUTION:  Installing the batteries incorrectly can damage the TV.

3.  Replace the battery compartment cover.

NOTE:  The TV can operate for about 3 hours with alkaline batteries.  When
       the sound level becomes too low or the picture becomes unstable,
       replace the batteries.

USING STANDARD AC POWER

You can power the TV from a standard AC outlet using a 6-volt, 700 mA AC
adapter (Cat. No. 273-1655).

1.  Turn off the TV.

2.  Match TIP on the adapter's smaller black barrel plug to the NEG (-)
    side of the adapter cord's plug.  Then connect the two plugs.

3.  Set the adapter's voltage switch to 6V.

4.  Plug the adapter's barrel plug in the TV's DC IN 6V jack.

5.  Plug the adapter's module into a standard AC outlet.

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.

        Use only an AC adapter that matches the recommended specifications.
        Other adapters might damage the TV.

        The internal batteries automatically disconnect when you plug the
        adapter into the DC IN 6V jack.

        The adapter might become warm after an extended period of use. 
        This is normal and is no cause for alarm.

USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER

You can use an optional DC adapter to power the TV from your vehicle's
cigarette-lighter socket if your vehicle has a 12-volt DC, negative ground
electrical system.

CAUTION:  You must use a DC adapter that supplies 6 volts and delivers at
          least 500 mA.  Its center tip must be set to negative, and its
          plug must correctly fir the TV's DC IN 6V jack.

Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could seriously
damage the TV or the adapter.

We recommend Radio Shack's hi-power DC adapter (Cat. No. 270-1562).

1.  Turn off the TV.

2.  March TIP on the adapter's brown barrel plug to the NEG (-) side of
    the adapter cord's plug.  Then connect the two plugs.

    CAUTION:  Always connect the adapter to the TV before you connect it to
              the cigarette-lighter socket.  Then disconnect it from the
              cigarette-lighter socket before you disconnect it from the
              TV.

3.  Set the adapter's voltage switch to 6 VOLTS.

4.  Plug the adapter's barrel plug into the TV's DC IN 6V jack.

5.  Plug the adapter's cigarette-lighter plug into your vehicle's
    cigarette-lighter socket.

NOTES:  If the TV does not operate properly when you use DC power, be sure
        the cigarette-lighter socket is clean and the adapters 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.

        The internal batteries automatically disconnect when you plug the
        adapter into the DC IN 6V jack.
