Color LCD TV

Your RCA Color LCD TV fits in the palm of

your hand. Your compact TV has several great

features.

Automatic Electronic Tuning System —

scans the VHF or UHF band and locks on to

active channels.

Flat Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

—

makes the TV more compact and uses less

power than a standard picture tube.

Fluorescent Backlight — illuminates the

screen so you can watch the TV in the dark or

in low-light conditions.

Built-in Rod Antenna — provides adequate

reception in most metropolitan areas.

Audio/Video Jack

— lets you connect a

camcorder, VCR, laser disc player, or any

device that has A/V outputs.

Earphone Jack — lets you enjoy private

listening with an optional earphone.

BATTERIES

Your TV requires four AA batteries (not

supplied). For the best performance and

longest life, we recommend RadioShack

alkaline batteries.

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. Gently press down on the battery

compartment cover and slide it in the

direction of the arrow to remove it.

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 3.5 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.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly

and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Caution: Batteries can leak chemicals that

damage your TV’s electronic parts.

AC POWER

You can power the TV using a 6V, 550-mA

AC adapter and a size B Adaptaplug™

adapter (neither supplied). Both are available

at your local RadioShack store.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2 pow-

er source that supplies 6V

DC and delivers at least 550

mA. Its center tip must be

set to positive and its plug must fit the

TV's DC IN 6V jack. Using an adapter

that does not meet these specifications

could damage the TV or the adapter.

• Always connect the AC adapter to the TV

before you connect it to AC power.

When you finish, disconnect the adapter

from AC power before you disconnect it

from the TV.

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.

Caution: Do not leave the adapter plugged

into the AC outlet or connected to the TV

when you are not using the TV.

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, 550-mA DC adapter and a

size B Adaptaplug adapter (neither supplied).

Both are available at your local RadioShack

store.

Cautions:

You must use a power

source that supplies 6V DC

and delivers at least 550

mA. Its center tip must be

set to positive and its plug must fit the

TV's DC IN 6V

jack. Using an adapter

that does not meet these specifications

could damage the TV or the adapter.

• Always connect the DC adapter to the TV

before you connect it to the power

source. When you finish, disconnect the

adapter from the power source before

you disconnect it from the TV.

You can use an optional DC adapter to power

the TV from a vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket

if the vehicle has a 12-volt DC, negative

ground electrical system. Your local

RadioShack store sells a variety of adapters.

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.

Caution: Do not leave the adapter plugged

into the cigarette-lighter socket or connected

to the TV when you are not using the TV.

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.

USING THE TV AS A MONITOR

You can play back the signal from an audio/

video component connected to your TV using

a special cable (not supplied), available

through your local RadioShack store (RSU

10005890).

Connect the cable’s yellow plug to the

component’s video output jack and its white

plug to the component’s audio output jack.

Then, plug the cable’s sub-mini plug into the

TV’s AUDIO/VIDEO jack.

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.

Notes:

• If desired, fold out the stand on the back

of the TV and lean the TV on a flat

surface at a convenient angle.

• If reception is poor, adjust the length or

angle of the rod antenna. If the TV is

inside a metal or concrete building,

moving closer to a window might

improve reception.

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 1/8-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.

• Be sure the antenna is fully extended.

Adjust the antenna’s angle and direction

for the best reception.

• Be sure the batteries are fresh.

• Be sure the TV is away from appliances

that might cause interference.

• In locations with poor reception, it might

be impossible to get a clear picture or

any picture at all. Change the location.

This TV has been manufactured to the

specifications of RadioShack and is covered

by a limited warranty from RadioShack. If

your TV is not operating as it should, take it

to your local RadioShack store or call 1-800-

THE-SHACK for assistance.

Your RCA Color LCD TV is an example of

superior design and craftsmanship. These

suggestions will help you care for it so you can

enjoy it for years.

• Keep the TV dry. If it gets wet, wipe it

dry immediately.

• Use only fresh batteries of the required

size and type. Batteries can leak

chemicals that damage your TV’s

electronic parts.

• Handle the TV gently and carefully.

Dropping it can damage the circuit

boards and cases and can cause the TV to

work improperly. Be particularly careful

of the screen. Avoid putting the TV in

your pocket or purse together with hard

objects (such as coins or keys).

• Use and store the TV only in normal

temperature environments.

• Keep the TV away from dust and dirt.

• Wipe the TV with a damp cloth

occasionally to keep it looking new. Do

not use harsh chemicals, cleaning

solvents, or strong detergents to clean

the TV.

Modifying or tampering with the TV’s internal

components can cause a malfunction and

might invalidate the TV’s warranty and void

your FCC authorization to operate it.
