Power Cord Connection
• Plug the small end of the power cord into the unit’s power jack.
• Plug the large end into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.
Note:
Cord fits tightly into detector. When installing the cord,
expect some resistance.
Installing the Hardwire Kit
The “U” type connector must be secured to a metal surface
that is electrically connected to the battery ground (negative)
terminal.
The spade type connector can connect to either live 12 volts
or switched 12 volts at your fuse panel accessory port. If no
port is available, cut off the spade terminal, expose 1/4 to 1/2
inch of wire, and splice into a source of 12 volt power.
Fuse Replacement - power cord
The lighter socket plug is equipped with a replaceable 2 amp,
3AG fuse located behind the silver tip. To replace the fuse,
carefully unscrew the tip of the plug.
Important:
Unscrew slowly. The tip contains a spring which
may fly out when disassembling. Insert the new fuse with the
spring and screw on the tip. With use, screw cap on plug may
loosen.
Retighten occasionally.
Fuse Replacement - hardwire kit
The inline fuse holder on the power cable is equipped with a
replaceable 2 amp, 3AG fuse located inside the fuse holder.
To replace the fuse, carefully twist the holder to open it to gain
access to the fuse.
