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 23 for more infor-
mation 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 ignition. This prevents your vehicle’s battery
from being drained if you leave the detector on when
you turn off the ignition.

Plug the supplied power cord’s barrel plug into the detec-
tor’s 

DC 12V

 jack. Then plug the cord’s cigarette-lighter

plug into your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.

Note: If the detector does not operate when you turn it
on, remove 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
23).
