Helpful Hints
Mobile Connections
Usually, the supplied rod antenna provides adequate reception.
But when you want to watch TV outdoors or in a vehicle, try a
mobile antenna (not supplied) or an indoor dipole antenna (not
supplied) for better reception.
1
Connect an antenna to the ANT(enna) jack. If you do not
use the supplied rod antenna, refer to the instructions with your
other antenna to make a connection.

2
Make sure your vehicle has a 13.2-volt, negative ground
electrical system. Connect one end of the car battery
cord to the DC 13.2V jack on the back of the TV/VCR.
Then connect the other end of the car battery cord to the
cigarette lighter in your vehicle.
Use only the supplied car battery cord. Using another cord could
damage the TV/VCR. Make sure you push the car battery cord’s
plug completely into the cigarette lighter.

Fuse Replacement
If the TV/VCR does not have power when connected properly in
your vehicle, replace the fuse in the car battery cord.
Use only a 5-amp, 250-volt, fast blow fuse, which is available
at an electronics retailer.
1
To remove the old fuse, unscrew the red cap from the end of the
cord. Place your fingers on the grooved part of the cap and turn
the cap counter-clockwise.
2
When the cap is removed, the red cap and the silver tip will be
loose. The fuse will be loose inside the end of the cord.
3
Remove the old fuse and insert a new fuse.
4
Replace the red cap and the silver tip. The fuse will tighten into
place as you screw on the cap, turning the cap clockwise. (The
end of the fuse will fit into the silver tip, which is in the center of
the red cap when tightened.)
