Installing Batteries
Your radar detector is powered by two AA batteries.
Use only alkaline batteries. General purpose and nickel
cadmium batteries might not provide enough power to
operate the detector.
1. Slide off the battery compartment cover.
2. Place two AA batteries in the battery compartment,
with their + and – ends lined up to match the mark-
ings in the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Note: Remove the detector from the dash when you
are not using it. Extremely high temperatures could
damage the detector or the batteries.
