MOBILE INSTALLATION You can power the VCP with your vehicle's battery. This lets you and others enjoy the system outdoors and lets your passengers enjoy the system on the road. Warning: Never watch the VCP while you drive your car. CONNECTING ANTENNAS The supplied indoor antenna is adequate when your vehicle is stationary, but for best reception on the road, use a high-quality VI-IF/UHF mobile TV antenna, available at your local store. If you use the supplied antenna, refer to "Connecting the Indoor Antenna" for the proper connection. If you use a mobile antenna, refer to the instructions provided with the antenna. CONNECTING THE CAR-BATTERY CORD Be sure your vehicle has a 12-volt, negativeground electrical system. If it is another type, car accesory shop sells the necessary converter. Attach the car-battery cord to the 12V DC connector on the back of the VCP. Then, connect the other end to the cigarette-lighter socket. AN T.IN 9 IL I VHF/UHF Combination Antenna (Not Supplied) CONNECTING THE AC CORD Attach the smaller end of the supplied AC cord to the AC 120V connector on the back of the VCP. Then, plug the other end into a standard AC outlet. Notes: • Be sure you use only the supplied car-battery cord. Using another cord could damage the VCP. • Be sure the socket is free of ashes and other debris. • Be sure to push the car-battery cord's plug completely into the cigarette-lighter socket. • Always unplug the car-battery cord from the cigarette-lighter socket before you unplug it from the VCP. • You must disconnect the car-battery cord from the VCP before you can use AC power. Caution: If you use the VCP with the vehicle's engine off, recharge the vehicle's battery after about every 4 hours of use to prevent it from running down. After you finish using the VCP, be sure you unplug the car-battery cord from the cigarette-lighter socket. 143 Note: You must disconnect the car-battery cord from the VCP before you can use AC power. - 12 -
