Installing Batteries

Antenna
Battery Compartment
Your TV uses eight AA batteries (not
supplied) for power. We recommend
alkaline batteries, available at your local
RadioShack store.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
Follow these steps to install the batteries.
1. Remove the
battery
compartment
cover by
pressing down
the stopper on
the right side
of the cover.
Slide it in the direction of the arrow to
unlock it, and pull down to remove it.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the
lock screw on the battery compartment
2
cover. Then insert a flat blade screw-
driver into the slot on the right side of
the battery compartment cover to pry
off the cover.
3. Insert eight
fresh batteries
into the
compartment as
indicated by the
polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
Caution: Installing batteries incorrectly
can damage the TV.
4. Insert the two locking tabs on the
battery cover into their locking slots on
the battery compartment. Then press
the cover down to snap it into place.
5. Secure the battery cover with the screw.
6. Align the four locking tabs on the
battery cover with their locking slots on
the back of the TV. Then slide the
battery compartment cover to the left to
lock it.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not bury or burn them.
Caution: Always remove old or weak
batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that
can destroy electronic parts.
Notes:
• The TV can operate for 2 to 3 hours
with alkaline batteries. When the sound
level lowers or the picture becomes
unstable, replace the batteries.
• Power from the batteries automatically
disconnects when you connect power to
the jack.
