3” TFT LCD TV

BATTERY POWER

Your TV requires four AA batteries (not supplied).

You may purchase alkaline batteries from your local

RadioShack store.

1. Slide off the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert the batteries into the compartment

as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –)

marked inside.

3. Replace the cover.

Notes:

• The TV can operate for about 3 hours with alkaline batteries. When the sound level

lowers or the picture becomes unstable, replace the batteries.

• The TV’s internal batteries automatically disconnect when you connect an adapter.

AC POWER

You can power the TV using a regulated 6V AC adapter of at

least 550 mA, and a size B Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither

supplied). Both are available at your local RadioShack store.

Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V. Insert the Adaptaplug

into the adapter’s cord, aligning + with TIP. Plug the

Adaptaplug’s barrel plug into the TV’s

DC IN 6V jack. Then,

plug the other end of the AC adapter cord into a standard AC

outlet.

Note: The adapter might become warm after extended

periods of use.

USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER

You can power the TV from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as a cigarette-lighter

socket) using a 6V, 550-mA DC adapter and a size B Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither

supplied).

Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V. Insert the Adaptaplug into the adapter’s cord,

aligning + with TIP. Plug the Adaptaplug’s barrel plug into the TV’s

DC IN 6V jack. Unplug

the vehicle’s cigarette lighter and plug the large end of the DC adapter cord into the

cigarette-lighter socket.

Note: 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 properly connected to the socket.

1. Extend the rod antenna and slide

UHF/VHF/OFF to VHF or UHF. The TV starts scanning and

stops at the next active channel in the selected band.

2. Press

TUNING to tune to a different channel. The tuning line on the screen aligns with

the selected channel number below the screen.

3. To adjust the volume,

rotate VOLUME located on the right side of the TV.

4. To adjust the picture to the desired brightness, rotate

BRIGHT located on the right side of the

TV. The brightness also changes with the screen’s angle.

BACKLIGHT

In low temperatures, 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 few seconds.

USING AN EARPHONE

For private listening, you can connect an optional 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 use an earphone when operating a vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can cause a traffic hazard and can be illegal in

some areas.

USING THE TV AS A MONITOR

You can play back the signal from an audio/video component connected to your TV’s AUDIO/VIDEO jack. You will need a

Y-adapter cable (not supplied), available at your local RadioShack store. Connect the cable’s red plug to the component’s video

output jack, and its white plug to the component’s audio output jack. Then, plug the cable’s mini plug into the TV’s

AUDIO/VIDEO

jack.

Note: Connecting an audio/video component disables the TV’s antenna.
