Hooking Up the TV/VCR (cont'd) 7
Mobile Connections
Usually, the supplied rod antenna provides adequate recep-
tion. When you want to watch TV outdoors or in a vehicle,
try a mobile antenna (not supplied); or, try an indoor dipole
antenna (not supplied) for better reception.
Connect an antenna to the ANT(enna)jack as
shown at 1-C on page six. If you do not use the
supplied rod antenna, refer to the instructions with
your other antenna to make a connection.
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
rear of the TVNCR. 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 ciga-
rette lighter.
Wind the unused AC power cord as shown at
right.
Car Battery Cord
Fuse Replacement
If the TV/VCR does not have power when connected prop-
erly 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.
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.
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.
Remove the old fuse and insert a new fuse.
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.)
