Your Rocky Mountain radar detector is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship.
The following suggestions will help you care for your detector so you can
enjoy it for years.
Never leave your detector on the windshield or dashboard when your vehicle
is left parked. The temperature in the vehicle during the summer can reach levels

To make you less susceptible to break-in and theft, remove the detector from
your windshield or dashboard when leaving your vehicle.
Do not expose the detector to moisture, rain, dew, road splash, or other liquids
that can damage the internal components and reduce the sensitivity of the detector.
6. Troubleshooting
If the detector does not turn on:
Check the power cord. Be sure all power connectors are properly installed.
Check the fuse that controls the power to the cigarette lighter socket.
(See your vehicle’s owner’s manual for reference)
The cigarette lighter socket might be dirty. Clean it with a fine emery cloth
to ensure a good, clean connection.
There might be a problem with the vehicle’s electricity.
Make sure that volume control is in the ON position.

and alternator connections.
Install a filter capacitor (470 , 35volts) on the back of the cigarette
lighter socket, across the power connection.
