GETTING STARTED  
Connecting an Outdoor  
Antenna  
CHOOSING A LOCATION  
Choose a location for the TV where:  
• Air flows freely on all sides.  
For the best reception, we recommend  
you use an outdoor antenna.  
• The power cord is not in the way  
of normal traffic.  
Note: Before you connect the TV to an  
outdoor antenna, inspect the antenna  
and the antenna’s cable. Severely  
weathered antennas and antenna ca-  
bles can reduce the signal quality.  
Your local Radio Shack store sells re-  
placement antenna cable (300-ohm  
flat wire or 75-ohm coaxial cable) and  
a wide variety of outdoor antennas.  
Note: Do not plug in the power cord  
until you make all other connections.  
CONNECTING  
ANTENNAS  
The supplied rod antenna provides ad-  
equate reception in most areas.  
The antenna connection you use de-  
pends on the type of antenna and ca-  
ble you have.  
To connect the rod antenna, insert it  
into the hole on the top of the TV. At-  
tach the 300-ohm twin-lead connec-  
tors to the two screw terminals on the  
supplied adapter.  
Warning: When installing an outdoor  
antenna, read and follow all instruc-  
tions and cautions that accompany the  
antenna.  
• If you have a combination VHF/  
UHF antenna and the antenna  
uses 75-ohm coaxial cable, con-  
nect the cable directly to the TV’s  
VHF/UHF (75) terminal.

• If you have a combination VHF/  
UHF antenna and the antenna  
uses 300-ohm flat wire, connect  
the flat wire to the screw terminals  
on the supplied 300-to-75 ohm  
adapter. Then connect the  
adapter to the TV’s VHF/UHF (75)  
terminal.  
CONNECTING CABLE TV  
If you subscribe to a cable TV service,  
connect the cable company’s 75-ohm  
coaxial cable directly to the TV’s VHF/  
UHF (75) terminal.  
If you use a cable box, connect the  
box’s output to the TV’s VHF/UHF (75)  
terminal.

• If you have separate VHF and  
UHF antennas, use a VHF/UHF  
combiner (not supplied) to com-  
bine the VHF and UHF signals.  
Then connect the combiner’s 75-  
ohm connector to the TV’s VHF/  
UHF (75) terminal.  
Set the TV to the same channel as the  
box’s output (Channel 3 or 4) and use  
the box to select channels.  
This  
Note to CATV System Installer:  
reminder is provided to call the CATV  
system installer’s attention to Section  
820-40 of the NEC which provides  
guidelines for proper grounding and, in  
particular, specifies that the cable  
ground shall be connected to the  
grounding system of the building, as  
close to the point of cable entry as  
practical.

CONNECTING AN  
AUDIO/VIDEO SOURCE  
CONNECTING  
EARPHONES  
You can use your TV to monitor an au-  
dio/video source (such as a VCR, cam-  
corder or laser disc player). Connect  
the audio/video source’s output jacks  
For private listening, plug a pair of ear-  
phones with a /8-inch mini-plug (not

Listening Safely  
To view the audio/video source, follow  
the steps in “Selecting TV or Video”  
and play the audio/video source ac-  
cording to its instructions.  
To protect your hearing, follow these  
guidelines when you use earphones.  
• Set the volume to the lowest set-  
ting before you begin listening. Af-  
ter you begin listening, adjust the  
volume to a comfortable level.

• Do not listen at extremely high  
volume levels. Extended high-  
volume listening can lead to per-  
manent hearing loss.  
CONNECTING POWER  
Plug the TV’s AC power cord into a  
standard AC power outlet.  
• 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.

INSTALLING THE  
REMOTE CONTROL’S  
BATTERIES  
The remote control requires two AA  
batteries (not supplied) for operation.  
For the longest battery life, use alka-  
line batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No.  
23-552). To ensure consistent opera-  
tion, change the batteries about once a  
year.  
Batteries  
1. Remove the battery compartment  
cover by pressing down and slid-  
ing it in the direction of the arrow.  
2. Install two AA batteries as indi-  
cated by the polarity markings (+  
and –) inside the compartment.  
Cautions:  
• Batteries installed incorrectly  
might leak and damage the  
remote control.  
• Do not mix old batteries with  
new ones, and do not mix differ-  
ent types of batteries (for exam-  
ple, standard and alkaline).  
3. Replace the cover.

USING CLOSED  
CAPTIONS  
You can set the sleep timer to auto-  
matically turn off the television after the  
selected time period.  
Closed captioning displays the audio  
portion of a television program as writ-  
ten words that appear on the television  
screen (in a form similar to English  
subtitles). Closed captions allow view-  
ers to read the dialogue and narration  
of television programs.  
Follow these steps to use the sleep  
timer.  
1. Press SLEEP on the remote con-  
trol until the desired time period  
appears on the screen: ---,  
240, 210, 180, 150, 120, 90,  
60, 30, 20, or 10minutes.  
Caption signals are transmitted as part  
of the TV broadcast and then decoded  
by the TV to display as words.

2. Wait about 5 seconds for the dis-  
play to automatically clear. The  
timer begins to count down for the  
selected number of minutes.  
• Sometimes TV stations broadcast  
two different caption signals on  
the same channel. By selecting  
MODE 1or MODE 2under MODE  
SELECTION, you can choose  
which signal to view. MODE 1 is  
usually the signal with the cap-  
tions, while MODE 2might show  
demonstration or programming in-  
formation.

press SLEEP once. After about 5  
seconds, the display clears.  
To cancel the sleep timer, press

• Your TV might not properly re-  
ceive caption signals in the follow-  
ing situations.  
Ignition: Black spots or horizontal  
streaks appear; picture flutters or  
drifts. Usually caused by interfer-  
ence from an automobile ignition  
system, neon lamps, drills, or oth-  
er electrical appliances.  
You are using an old, bad, or ille-  
gally recorded tape in the VCR  
connected to the TV.  
An airplane or car is interfering  
with the TV signal.  
The signal from the antenna is  
weak.  
The program wasn’t captioned  
when it was produced, transmit-  
ted, or taped.  
Ghosts: Double images appear.  
Ghosts are caused by the televi-  
sion signal following two paths: the  
direct path and another reflected  
from a building, hill, or other object.  
Changing the direction or position  
of the antenna might improve the  
reception.  
• If you connect a VCR that has a  
captioning function, note the fol-  
lowing.  
For the best reception of caption  
signals, connect a signal distribu-  
tor as shown.  
75-Ohm Antenna Jack

Snow: Small dots in the picture. If  
your TV is located at the fringe  
area of a television broadcast,  
where the signal is weak, you  
might need to install a special an-  
tenna to improve the picture.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your Radio Shack 13-Inch Color TV/Monitor is an example of superior design and  
craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your TV/Monitor so  
you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the TV/Monitor dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liq-  
uids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  
Handle the TV/Monitor gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage  
circuit boards and cases and can cause the TV/Monitor to work im-  
properly.  
Use and store the TV/Monitor only in normal temperature environ-  
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic de-  
vices and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the TV/Monitor away from dust and dirt, which can cause pre-  
mature wear of parts.  
Wipe the TV/Monitor with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking  
CLEANER  
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-  
gents to clean the TV/Monitor.  
Modifying or tampering with the TV/Monitor’s internal components can cause a mal-  
function and might invalidate your TV/Monitor’s warranty and void your FCC autho-  
rization to operate it. If your TV/Monitor is not performing as it should, take it to your  
local Radio Shack store for assistance.

FCC INFORMATION  
This TV/Monitor complies with the lim-  
its for a Class B digital device as spec-

erly. To eliminate interference, you can  
try one or more of the following correc-  
tive measures:  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving  
antenna.  
• Increase the distance between the  
TV/Monitor and the radio or TV.  
• Use outlets on different electrical  
circuits for the TV/Monitor and the  
radio or TV.  
Consult your local Radio Shack store  
or an experienced radio/TV technician
