Connecting Power
Caution:
• Use only the supplied power cord. If your power cord is lost
or damaged, you can order a replacement cord from your
local RadioShack store.
• Before plugging the power cord's cigarette-lighter plug into
your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket, make sure the plug's
tip is screwed firmly onto the plug. See “Replacing the
Fuse” on Page 19 for more information about the cigarette-
lighter plug.
• Unplug the power cord's cigarette-lighter plug from your
vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket when you turn off the igni-
tion. This prevents draining your vehicle's battery if you
leave the detector on when you turn off the ignition.
Plug the supplied power cord's barrel plug into the detector's
DC
12V
jack. Then plug the cord's cigarette-lighter plug into your ve-
hicle's cigarette-light socket.
Note:
If the detector does not operate when you turn it on, re-
move the cigarette-lighter plug from your vehicle's socket and
check the socket for ashes and other debris. Also, check the
fuse in the cigarette-lighter plug and your vehicle's fuse block
(see “Replacing the Fuse” on Page 19).
