Maintenance of Your 
Radar Detector

Your ESD-9230 WX is designed and built to 
give you years of trouble-free performance
without the need for service. No routine
maintenance is required.

If your unit does not appear to be 
operating properly, please follow 
these troubleshooting steps:

Make sure the power cord is 
properly connected.

Make sure the socket of your vehicle's
cigarette lighter is clean and free 
of corrosion.

Make sure the power cord's cigarette
lighter adapter is firmly seated in your
cigarette lighter.

Check the power cord fuse. (Unscrew
the ribbed end cap of the cigarette
lighter adapter and examine the fuse. 
If required, replace it with a 1-amp 
fuse only.)
