Try  to  avoid  road  splash  or  other  liquids  that  can  damage  the 
internal components and reduce the performance of the detector. 
Periodically check and wipe off any dirt from the front antenna 
and scrambler modules. Use a soft cloth to avoid scratching the 
lens. 

 

TROUBLESHOOTING 

 
If the Control Module does not turn on: 
 
Check  the  power  cord.  Be  sure  all  power  connectors  are 
properly installed and pushed in all the way. 
 
Check  the  fuse  in  the  power  cord  that  goes  to  the  cigarette 
lighter socket. 
 
The  cigarette  lighter  socket  may  be  dirty.  Clean  it  with  a  soft 
cloth to ensure a good clean connection. 
 
There may be a problem with the vehicles electrical system. 
 
Be sure to fully press the Power button. 
 

CAUTION: 

Do  not  place  any  metal  objects  other  than  the 

cigarette lighter or a cigarette lighter plug in the cigarette lighter 
socket. Doing so could blow a fuse in your vehicle or cause the 
metal object to become very hot. 

 

If the remote gives false alerts when the vehicle hits bumps: 
Check  the  vehicle’s  electrical  system  including  main  battery 
cable and alternator connections. 
  
Install  a  filter  capacitor  (470uf,  35  volts)  on  the  back  of  the 
cigarette lighter socket across the power connection. 
 
Verify  that  the  front  antenna  and  scrambler  modules  are  not 
obstructed. 
 
Relocate  the  front  antenna  and  both  scrambler  modules  to  a 
clear view of the road. 
 
Verify the cables are correctly connected to the Control Module. 
 

FUSE REPLACEMENT 

 

The lighter socket adapter of the power cord has a replacement 
2  amp  SAG  fuse  located  below  the  silver  tip.  To  check  or 
replace  the  fuse,  slowly  and  carefully  unscrew  the  tip  of  the 
plug. Make sure the spring and silver tip located inside the plug 
do not fly out when you remove the cap. Check fuse and replace 
if necessary.
