Portable TV  (160-0124)         Power Sources          Faxback Doc. # 7813

You can power your TV/radio using any of these power sources:

    Nine D batteries

    Standard household electricity (using the supplied AC adapter)

    12-volt vehicle battery (using the supplied DC adapter)

USING INTERNAL BATTERY POWER

You can power the Portavision from 9 D batteries.  We recommend alkaline
batteries (such as Cat. No. 23-550) for longest battery life.  You can
also use rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries (such as Cat. No. 23-123).

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1.  Gently push the battery compartment cover's two locking latches in the
    direction of the arrows and lift the cover from the Portavision.

2.  Install nine D batteries in the battery compartment as indicated by
    the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside the battery compartment.

CAUTION:  Installing the batteries incorrectly can damage your TV/radio.

3.  Replace the battery compartment cover.

NOTES:  When the TV picture shrinks, replace the battery.

        Battery life can vary greatly, depending on how you use your
        TV/radio, TV operation drains batteries faster than radio
        operation.

        If you do not intend to use your TV/radio for a month or more,
        remove the batteries.  Never store your TV/radio with batteries
        inside.  They can leak damaging chemicals.

USING STANDARD AC POWER

To use AC power, connect the supplied AC adapter to the Portavision's
jack.  Then plug the other end into a standard AC outlet.

CAUTION:  Use only an AC adapter that supplies 13.5 volts DC, delivers 850
          milliamps, and has a center positive plug which properly fits
          the Portavision's DC 12-14V jack.  Using an adapter that does
          not meet these specifications could damage the TV/radio or the
          adapter.

USING YOUR VEHICLE'S BATTERY POWER

You can power the Portavision from your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket
using the supplied Dc adapter cord.

CAUTION:  Your vehicle must have a 12-volt negative-ground system.

Follow these steps to power the Portavision from your vehicle's battery
power.

1.  Plug the small end of the supplied DC adapter cord into the DC 12-14V
    jack.

CAUTION:  Use only a DC adpater that suplies 12 volts DC, and has a center
          positive plug which properly fits the Portavision's Dc 12-14V
         jack.  Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications
         could damage the TV/radio or the adapter.

2.  Unplug your vehicle's cigarette lighter, and plug the large end of the
    DC adapter cord into the cigarette-lighter socket.  When you connect
    the DC adapter, the batteries are automatically disconnected.

NOTES:  Always unplug the DC adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket
        before you unplug it from the Portavision.

        To use vehicle battery power you must unplug the AC power cord
        from the Portavision.
