CONNECTING POWER
Cautions:
• The detector works in vehicles that have a 12-volt,
negative-ground electrical system. Most vehicles
have this type of system. If you are not sure about
your vehicle, check with your vehicle’s dealer.
• Unplug the power cord’s cigarette-lighter plug from
your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket when you turn
off the ignition. This prevents your vehicle’s battery
from being drained if you leave the detector on when
you turn off the ignition.
Plug the supplied power cord’s short barrel plug into the
detector’s power jack and the longer barrel plug into the
cigarette-lighter plug. Then plug the cord’s cigarette-
lighter plug into your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.
Note: If the detector does not operate when you turn it
on, remove the cigarette-lighter plug from your vehicle’s
socket and check the socket for debris. Also check the
fuse in the cigarette-lighter plug and your vehicle’s fuse
block (see “Replacing the Fuse”).
