POWER SOURCE
DC POWER SUPPLY
By using the DC car cord supplied with the TV, you can operate this TV from a cigarette
lighter socket in any car that utilizes a negative ground system.
The fused 12V DC car cord has been designed to power the set from the external DC power
(12 volt negative ground) through the TV DC input jack.
Connect the smaller plug on the end of the cord to the DC input jack on the rear of the TV,
then insert the other end of the car cord into the cigarette lighter socket of your car. Make sure
that the cord makes a firm connection. It may be necessary to try several insertions, rotating
the plug for proper electrical connection.

NOTES: • ALWAYS TURN OFF TV FIRST BEFORE SWITCH ON OR OFF THE IGNITION OF
CAR ENGINE.
• Make sure that the negative terminal of the battery is grounded. This set is de-
signed for use with negative ground system only.
• Use the supplied car cord only.
• When the TV is not in use, always disconnect it from the car cigarette lighter socket
to avoid a battery drain.
• If the TV is to be directly connected to a 12V DC power source, for example,
recreational vehicle (RV) applications, make sure the power cord is connected after
the ignition switch to avoid battery drain.
• Do not operate the TV if the car battery is weak. Peak current from the car alterna-
tor could blow the DC fuse.
• Check the battery's charge level regularly when the TV is used in a vehicle.
REPLACING THE FUSE IN THE CAR BATTERY CORD PLUG
If the fuse in the car battery cord plug blows, replace it with a new 8 A fuse (Fast Blow Type)
as shown below. Unscrew the tip of the plug to remove.
