FEATURES
Your RCA Color LCD TV fits in the palm of
your hand and receives AM and FM radio, as
well as VHF and UHF TV signals. Your
distinctively-styled compact TV has several
great features:
21/4-Inch Super-Twisted Nematic Display
— makes the TV more compact, and uses less
power than a standard picture tube.
Audio/Video In Jack — lets you connect a
camcorder, VCR, DVD player, or any device
that has A/V outputs using an optional A/V
cable.
Earphone Jack — lets you enjoy private
listening with an optional earphone.
DC Jack — lets you power your TV from
your vehicle battery using an optional DC
adapter. You can also use an optional AC
adapter with this jack.
Automatic Electronic Tuning System —
scans the VHF or UHF band and locks on to
active channels.
Built-in Telescoping Rod Antenna —
provides adequate reception in most
metropolitan areas.
Fluorescent Backlight — illuminates the
LCD screen so you can watch the TV in the
dark or in low-light conditions.

LISTENING SAFELY
• If you use an adapter, be sure it is
correctly connected.
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an earphone.
No picture and noisy sound.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to a
comfortable level.
• Adjust the antenna.
Picture, but no sound.
• Adjust VOLUME.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume
levels. Extended high-volume listening
can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase
it. Over time, your ears adapt to the
volume level, so a volume level that does
not cause discomfort might still damage
your hearing.
• Be sure you disconnected the earphone.
Sound, but the picture is all white, dark, or
blurred.
• Adjust BRIGHT.
• Be sure the batteries are fresh.
Picture is not clear (moves up or down,
disappears periodically, becomes fuzzy or blurred
or is doubled), but the TV has sound.
TRAFFIC SAFETY
Do not wear an earphone while operating a
motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can
create a traffic hazard and could 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.
Even though some earphones let you hear
some outside sounds when listening at
normal volume levels, they still can present a
traffic hazard.
USING THE TV AS A MONITOR
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.
You can play back the signal from an audio/
video component connected to your TV using
a Y-adapter cable (not supplied), available
through your local RadioShack store. We
recommend RadioShack Cat. No. 42-2475
available at your local RadioShack store.

Rules. Operation of this device is subject to
the following two conditions:
Connect the cable’s white plug to the
component’s video output jack and its red
plug to the component’s audio output jack.
Then, plug the cable’s sub-mini plug into the
TV’s AUDIO/VIDEO jack.

interference.
2. The TV must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

CARE
Your RCA Color Pocket 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 recommended type. Always remove old or
weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.
• Handle the TV gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and
can cause the TV to work improperly. Be particularly careful of the display screen. Avoid
putting the TV in your pocket or purse together with hard objects (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.
