Setup

1. Powering On

Connect the included AC power adapter to the DC 12V input port on the TV and plug it into a standard wall outlet. Alternatively, you can use the built-in rechargeable battery for portable use. Press the POWER button on the TV or remote control to turn the unit on.

2. Antenna Connection

For receiving over-the-air digital TV broadcasts, connect the external antenna to the ANTENNA IN port on the TV. Position the antenna for optimal reception. You may need to adjust its position during channel scanning or if signal quality is poor.

3. Initial Channel Scan

After connecting the antenna and powering on the TV for the first time, it is recommended to perform an auto channel scan. Navigate to the MENU, select CHANNEL or SETUP, and then choose AUTO SCAN. The TV will search for available digital and analog channels in your area. This process may take several minutes.

Operating Instructions

1. Basic Controls

  • Power: Press the POWER button to turn the TV on or off.
  • Volume: Use the VOL+ and VOL- buttons to adjust the volume level.
  • Channel: Use the CH+ and CH- buttons to change channels.
  • Mute: Press the MUTE button on the remote to temporarily silence the audio.

2. Input Selection

To switch between different video sources (e.g., TV tuner, HDMI, USB, AV), press the SOURCE or INPUT button on the remote control or the TV. Use the arrow buttons to select your desired input and press OK.

3. Media Playback (USB)

Insert a USB flash drive into the USB port. Select the USB input source. The TV's media player interface will appear, allowing you to browse and play compatible video, audio, and image files stored on the USB drive.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

To clean the screen and casing, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for electronics. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the surface.

2. Battery Care

To prolong the life of the built-in rechargeable battery, avoid fully discharging it frequently. Charge the battery regularly, even if the TV is not in constant use. Store the TV in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
