Mounting Your Spacemaker™  
Follow the instructions below if you want to mount your  
Spacemaker™ under a cabinet.  
Hold the Spacemaker™ in various locations while you think  
through what will be the most convenient location in your  
kitchen. Keep in mind your normal work pattern, especially  
your use of other electrical countertop appliances.  
Before mounting, turn set on to check the AM radio reception  
in the location youve selected.  
Required Tools  
Ruler or Tape Measure  
Masking Tape  
Scissors  
Helpful Hints:  
Phillips Screwdriver  
1
Drill and 4” Drill Bit  
You may want to start the drill holes with a nail or an awl.  
Splintering will be reduced if you place masking tape above the  
hole locations on the inside of the cabinet.  
Drill Countersink Attachment (Optional)  
Be sure to hold the drill firmly against the cabinet to reduce  
“walking” of the drill bit from the markings.  
Mounting Considerations  
If you have a countersink attachment for your drill and if you  
are drilling through a wood cabinet, you may wish to counter-  
sink the drilled holes from the inside of the cabinet. This will  
eliminate the use of washers and allow the screw heads to be  
flush with the floor of your cabinet. If you cannot countersink  
the holes, use the washers that are supplied.  
Make sure the bottom of the cabinet you select is strong enough  
to hold the Spacemaker™.  
Allow adequate room on both sides of the Spacemaker™ to  
allow proper ventilation and access to control knobs.  
Mount your Spacemaker™ near an AC power outlet so the  
power cord will reach it.  
The area directly below your Spacemaker™ should not be used  
for cooking or by appliances that generate heat or steam.  
Select an area as far away as possible from large metal appli-  
ances such as refrigerator, ovens, etc.  
CAUTION: Check thickness of shelf before attempting to  
countersink holes. Minimum thickness should be at least 14  
(38” or more preferred).  
Mounting Your Spacemaker™  
Mounting Instructions  
1. Prepare cabinet.

2. Cut out the Mounting Guide and Screw Guide,  
A. Cut out the guides on the lines indicated.  
4. Drill holes in cabinet.  
• Drill 14-inch diameter holes through the underside of the cabi-  
net bottom using the four circles of the Mounting Guide as a  
guide.  
3. Position Mounting Guide on underside of cabinet.  
A. Position the Mounting Guide on the underside of cabinet  
at least 1-14 inches back from the cabinets front edge.  
This will make the front of the TV almost flush with the  
cabinet.  
5. Remove Mounting Guide and drill shavings.  
Remove the Mounting Guide and clean the drill shavings from  
inside and under the cabinet.  
B. Position the Mounting Guide in the desired location and  
tape it to the bottom of the cabinet. Be sure it is on a flat  
surface free from any glue lumps or other bumps.  
6. Select spacers if required.  
A. Spacers slip over the ends of the screws and allow you to  
mount the TV below the edge of the cabinets overhang.  
If your cabinet does not have an overhang, you probably  
will not need to use any spacers.  
Note: Some kitchen cabinets have front overhangs as shown here.  
If the thickness of the overhang exceeds 1-14 inches, tape the  
Mounting Guide as close to the cabinets front edge as possible.  
If your cabinet has an overhang, select the proper length spacer(s)  
so the bracket will clear the overhang

B. Select spacers which are approximately 4” shorter than  
the overhang. Two or three spacers can be used together  
to make length of 14” to 1-34” at 14” increments.  
8. Position Mounting Bracket under cabinet as shown below  
and match the screw holes.  
C. While holding the Bracket and selected spacers in place  
under the cabinet, check to see that the Bracket clears the  
overhang so the TV can be easily slid onto the Bracket or  
removed for portable use.

B. Holding the selected spacers for one of the screw holes  
under the cabinet, install a washer and screw inside the  
cabinet using one of the three lengths of screws provid-  
ed.  
Mounting Bracket  
9. Attach Mounting Bracket to cabinet.  
C. Use the Screw Guide you cut from the Mounting Guide  
to determine if the screw is the proper length for your  
cabinet. (See the diagram below).  
A. First mount one corner of the Bracket. Hold the Bracket  
and spacer(s) in place and insert the screw from the  
inside of the cabinet down through washer and drilled  
hole or down through countersink and drilled hole.  
Note: The washers must be used on metal cabinets and on wood  
cabinets if you did not countersink the drilled holes.  
Spacer(s)  
1/4”  
5/8”  
B. Position the washer flat-side down and place screw into  
screw hole, through the spacer(s), and through the screw  
hole in the Mounting Bracket.  
Screw  
Guide  
1/4” to 5/8” for  
proper mounting  
C. Place a nut into the cylinder at the bottom of the  
Mounting Bracket screw hole. Hold nut in place (if neces-  
sary, use the top of a pencil). While maintaining upward  
pressure on the Mounting Bracket, finger tighten the  
screw. Do not tighten firmly until all four screws have  
been started.  
D. If the screw threads fall within the shaded area of the  
Screw Guide, then the selected screw is of the proper  
length for mounting the Bracket.  
D. Align each of the remaining three Mounting Bracket  
screw holes with the drilled holes and properly position  
the selected spacers. Install washers, screws, and nuts as  
previously described. Now, finish tightening the four  
screws but do not over-tighten them.  
E. If the threads end above or below the shaded area, try  
one of the other screws provided. (Screw length must fall  
into the shaded area on the Screw Guide for proper  
mounting).  
CAUTION: If the screw is too short, it will not screw into  
the nut far enough to securely hold the TV. If the screw is  
too long, it may protrude below the Bracket, and the TV  
will hit it when sliding onto the Bracket.  
Note: If none of the screws provided are the proper length for  
your cabinet, you can do one of the following:  
1
a) Increase the spacer length by 4” and try one of the longer  
screws provided.  
b)Purchase proper length screws at your local hardware  
store (type #10-32).

3. Insert the battery into the compartment with the negative (-)  
contacts to the left and the positive (+) contacts to the right as  
shown inside the TV. Your TV may be damaged if the battery  
is not properly connected.  
Your rechargeable battery can be used with as little as 18 hours  
of daily recharging for a limited period, up to two weeks. After  
such use, it is recommended that you recharge the battery for  
48 hours, to maintain maximum play time and battery life.  
4. Replace the battery compartment cover by first inserting the  
bottom two tabs and then gently pressing the cover closed at  
the top.  
For maximum battery life, start recharging the battery within  
24 hours of each use. Disconnect the battery from the charger  
after 48 hours because additional charging wastes energy and  
may shorten battery life.  
5. Operate your TV or radio as normal.  
CAUTION: When the TV picture shrinks approximately 1⁄4  
inch on each side, the battery is discharged. Continued use of  
the battery without recharging will damage it. Remove the  
battery from the TV and recharge it according to the  
instructions at the left.  
PRECAUTIONS  
To prevent damage which may result in fire or shock haz-  
ard, do not operate the television set on battery power  
while recharging the battery.  
Avoid charging the battery in temperature over 104° F.  
This will reduce the battery life.  
Be sure to recharge the battery before and after use. If left  
uncharged for a long period of time, the battery will be  
excessively discharged resulting in a shorter life.  
Never store battery in temperatures above 100° F or in  
direct strong sunlight.  
Do not short circuit battery.  
Do not place battery in fire.

not operate on battery power unless this cord is removed.
