REPLACING THE FUSE

If the detector stops operating, check the fuse in the DC
power cord’s cigarette-lighter plug. If it has blown, fol-
low these steps to replace it.

1. Carefully unscrew the tip of the cigarette-lighter

plug.

2. Remove the tip from the cigarette-lighter plug, then

remove the old fuse.

Note: The tip is in two pieces. Take care not to lose
either piece or the spring inside the holder.

3. Replace the fuse with a 1-Amp, 5

20 mm, fast-act-

ing fuse (Cat. No. 270-1049).

Caution: Using a fuse that does not meet these rat-
ings or defeating the fuse protection can damage
your detector or the vehicle’s electrical system.

4. Press the cigarette-lighter plug’s tip down into the

body, then screw it back in.

Caution: Be sure you press the cigarette-lighter
plug’s tip down before screwing it in, or you might
damage the plug.
