or blurred, is doubled, etc.), but the TV
has sound.
BACKLIGHT
In low temperatures, the TV screen takes a
few seconds to light, or it might be slightly
red in color. This is not a malfunction. Nor-
mal operation resumes after a short while.
• Be sure the antenna is fully extended.
Adjust the antenna’s angle and direc-
tions 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.
USING AN EARPHONE
For private listening, you can connect an op-
tional earphone with a 1/8-inch plug to the
jack. This automatically mutes the built-
EAR

If you are unable to locate the problem, take
the TV to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.
Cautions:
• Set

VOLUME
before you begin listening. Then adjust
the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not wear an earphone while operat-
ing a vehicle or riding a bicycle. This
can cause a traffic hazard and is illegal
in some areas.

Care and Maintenance
Your Optimus Color LCD TV is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. These sug-
gestions 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 recommended size and 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, keys, etc.).
• 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.
Modifying or tampering with the TV’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might
invalidate the TV’s warranty. If the TV is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
