• If the radar detector does not operate when you plug
in the power cord, check the socket to be sure it is
free of debris. If the radar detector still does not oper-
ate, either a vehicle fuse or the fuse in the power
cord might be blown. To check your vehicle’s fuses,
see its Owner’s Manual. To check the power cord’s
fuse, see “Replacing the Fuse” on Page 22.
• Plugging in the power cord disconnects the batteries.
• Do not leave batteries in the detector for a long
period of time when you use the power cord. Batter-
ies can leak chemicals that can damage your detec-
tor.
MOUNTING
Hook-and-Loop Mounting
For some dashboards, the hook-and-loop tape included
with your detector might be best for mounting. Follow
these steps to use the hook-and-loop tape.
1. Use a damp cloth to clean the bottom of the detec-
tor and the dashboard. Let both surfaces dry.
Note: The tape’s adhesive might not stick to a sur-
face treated with vinyl cleaner or protectant.
2. Remove the tape’s backing and stick the tape to the
bottom of the detector.
