Setting the DTV

To Set the DTV

Enter the channel number followed by “-1.” For example, enter “11-1” for the digital channel 11. If available, the digital channel appears. Some digital stations provide multiple broadcasts on a single channel. To access these directly, enter higher numbers after the channel number. Take “11-2” “11-3” for example. If available, these digital channels appear.

Using the External Antenna

When the picture is not clear with the built-in rod antenna, try placing your TV near a window or connecting an external antenna to the TV for improve reception. If you are in a weak TV signal area, or are inside a concrete building, you might need an external antenna to improve reception. Connect the external antenna to the RF IN jack on the right side of the TV. Follow the install steps below:

Diagram I

Screw the rod antenna loose from the RF IN jack.

Diagram II

Screw the rod antenna onto the top jack of the magnet pedestal.

Diagram III

Screw the metal plug of the external antenna onto the RF IN jack on the TV.

Diagram IV

Place the magnet pedestal vertically; pull the rod antenna to scan channels.

Note: Based on the current ATSC standards, mobile reception of digital stations are practically impossible especially when the TV is moving or on a moving surface or vehicle. Picture on the screen tends to garble up or lose signal indefinitely. To avoid this issue, try not to move the TV around when watching TV programs.

Axion TV- Great product Oct 09, 2009 By DC
Great picture and sound. Finding the right place for the antenna was tricky. It seems metal objects interfere with reception, including the corners of walls. I keep it plugged in, in the kitchen to catch the news in the morning or while making dinner, so I have not tested the battery life yet. 5 months and I am very happpy.

Good New/Bad News -- mostly bad news. Nov 09, 2009 By C. Hayman
Good news/bad news: the picture quality is terrific, but I cannot POWER OFF! I called the company and was told to keep the power button down for 8 seconds -- unfortunately it powers off momentarily and then immediately powers back on. The only way to turn it off is to remove the plug from the wall (& even then if there is any battery juice it stays on until the battery runs out). Previously I had read another review here about that happening, but thought it was probably just an odd occurrence, but when it happened to me I assumed that this is probably happening on a much more frequent basis.

Good news: I live in the boonies and the antenna brought in all our local stations very, very well.

The remote does not have a power/on/off switch. I don't know why.

It does not recognize the 75 ohm signal (through the wall) from my satellite -- I called the company and was told it would not recognize the satellite signal through the wall outlet connected to the rf input -- (it has to be connected directly to the satellite box w/rca cables). So if you want it in your kitchen, forget it, unless you have the satellite box in the kitchen, too.

The sound is tinny, but I could live with the unit if everything else worked.

My advice is not to buy this unit as its performance is unpredictable with that power button, and, of course don't buy it if you have satellite reception. It's like a half-baked cake -- too bad they didn't do it right.

Don't buy Axion 9" TV Nov 20, 2009 By J. Simmons
I purchased one of these units, but when set to scan for channels, it didn't find any. I even tried connecting cable directly to it. i tried the various cable band settings, no luck. I sent it back. I ordered another one. it performed exactly like the first. No working RF input. I even tried outside where I had a line of sight view of the local TV transmitter.

Here's the worst part, customer service. It is non-existent. I sent an email on a Friday night, it wasn't responded to until the following Wednesday. All is said was, "Call us." It didn't include a number. Fortunately, the number is in the operator's guide. I actually began calling on Tuesday. I left four messages for Reginald. His name is on the customer service outgoing message. He never called me back. I even mentioned that if didn't hear from him today, that I would be forced to leave a negative review on Amazon.com. I guess he doesn't care.

Companies who treat customers this way should not be allowed to stay in business.

I see that other reviewers have complained about not being able to turn the unit off. Well I guess I will never know if that is a problem because I have now sent the second unit back.

Good quality TV Oct 23, 2009 By P. Schoolik "Mr Paul NJ"
The picture is very good, and the sound is also. The reception is good, but dislike the interferences that accrue (car passing by or sitting running next to my vehicle). I found out the antenna gives good reception. Actually went out and bought another antenna (which was suppose to be one of the best) and the antenna that came with this product was better. The product case is very slippery, should have some type of handle to carry it (easily can slip out of your hands when caring it around).

AXION AXN-8905 9" Portable Television Feb 04, 2010 By Ken Blkaney
This little TV is very good for a hundred dollar TV .... good picture ... so so sound ... it comes with a separate antenna ... the antenna is 28" high and has a 2" magnetic base ... the antenna cord is 76" long ... I measured it .. this TV is probably very good for camping trips .... you could place the antenna on top of your vehicle while camping ....the antenna is a screw on cable tv type connection which is nice if you want to connect this TV to a cable... the manual says the internal battery life is 2 hours but I timed mine and it actually lasted for 3 hours and 47 minutes before the battery died ... the manual says 7 hours to recharge but I timed mine and it actually recharged completely in 5 hours and 15 minutes ... this TV also comes with an ac wall adapter and a car adapter ..... my wife uses this TV in the bathroom and leaves the ac adapter plugged in so the battery never goes dead .... I guess the only complaints that I would have is there is no carrying handle ... and, for sitting on a table, the plastic leg on the back is flimsy and similar to a picture frame type leg for sitting up straight ... and also, the sound could be better .... but hey it's a hundred dollar television ... it's ok as a back up during a power outage, or while cooking in the kitchen, or camping out ... see my picture image that i put on amazon... I put my Dr. Pepper can and the antenna next to the television for a size comparison ... this is a three star TV but for a hundred bucks, then it's a four star TV .. ...
