POWER SOURCES

You can power the TV from:
• Internal battery power (using ten
C batteries, not included)
• Standard AC power (using the
supplied AC adapter)
• Vehicle battery power (using the
supplied DC power cord)
Using Internal Battery
Power
Your TV requires ten C batteries (not
supplied) for power. For the best
performance and longest life, 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.
Note: If you use rechargeable nickel-
cadmium batteries, you need a separate
battery charger, available at your local
RadioShack store.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Carefully turn the TV upside-
down and gently press the arrow
on the battery compartment cover,
then push the cover in the
direction of the arrow.
2. Install ten C batteries in the
battery compartment as indicated
by the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside.
Caution: Installing the batteries
with incorrect polarity can damage
your TV.
3. Replace the cover and insure the
tab on the cover locks into the slot
on the case.
Notes:
• When the TV picture shrinks,
replace (or recharge) the batteries.
• Battery life can vary greatly,
depending on how you use your
TV.
