VEHICLE BATTERY POWER
You can use an optional DC adapter (such
as Cat. No. 270-1562 or 273-1815) 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 490
mA. Its center tip must be set to positive,
and its plug must correctly fit the TV’s DC 6V
jack. The recommended adapter meets
these specifications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications could
damage the TV or the adapter.
1. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V.
2. Attach the adapter’s 3.4 mm outer
diameter/1.3 mm inner diameter barrel
plug, aligning + with TIP, and plug it into
the TV’s DC 6V jack.
3. Unplug your vehicle’s cigarette lighter
and plug the large end of the DC
adapter cord into the cigarette-lighter
socket.
Internal batteries automatically disconnect
when you plug an adapter into the DC 6V
jack.
Cautions:
• Do not leave the adapter plugged into
the cigarette-lighter socket or con-
nected to the TV when you are not
using the TV.
• Always unplug the adapter from the cig-
arette-lighter socket first.
Note: If the TV does not operate properly
when you use DC power, be sure the ciga-
rette-lighter socket is clean and that the
adapter’s plug is pushed all the way into the
socket.
1. Extend the telescoping rod antenna.
2. Set OFF/VHF/UHF to VHF or UHF. The TV
starts scanning and stops at the first
active channel in the selected band.
3. Press TUNING <or >to tune to a differ-
ent channel. The tuning line (red for
VHF, green for UHF) on the screen
aligns with the channel number shown
below the screen.
4. Adjust VOLUME.
5. Adjust BRIGHT to the desired bright-
ness. The brightness also changes with
the screen’s angle.
Notes:
• You can fold out the stand on the back
of the TV and lean the TV on a flat sur-
face.
• If reception is poor, adjust the length,
angle, and direction of the telescoping
antenna. If you are using the TV inside
a metal or concrete building, moving
closer to a window might improve
reception.
USING AN EARPHONE
For private listening,you can connect an op-
tional earphone with a 1/8-inch (2.5mm) plug
to the TV’s EAR jack. This automatically
mutes the built-in speaker.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guide-
lines when you use an earphone.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to a
comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume
levels. Extended high-volume listening
can lead to permanent 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 discomfort might
still damage your hearing.
