2.3” LCD TV

16-3009

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

(three above and one below) as indicated by the

polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3. Replace the cover.

Notes:

• The TV can operate for about 4 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 500 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, 500-mA DC adapter and a size B Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither

supplied). Use an optional DC adapter to power the TV from a vehicle’s cigarette-lighter

socket if the vehicle has a 12V DC, negative ground electrical system.

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

/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.

EAR Jack

If you are in an area with weak TV signals, or

inside a metal or concrete building, you might

need an external antenna to improve reception.

Connect the antenna to the EXT. ANT. jack. If

your antenna wire is 75-ohm coaxial cable, use

an F-to-mini plug adapter to complete the

connection. If you have 300-ohm wire, use a

300-to-75 ohm mini plug adapter. Both are

available at your local RadioShack store.
