Radar detector
Troubleshooting
If the detector does not turn on:
Make sure that the POWER is in the ON position.
Check the power cord or battery. Be sure all power connectors are properly
installed.
Check the fuse that controls power to the cigarette lighter socket. See your
vehicles owner's manual.
The cigarette lighter socket might be dirty. Clean it with fine emery cloth to
ensure a good, clean connection.
Vehicle electrical problem exists.
Caution: Do not place any metal object 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 detector gives a false alert when the vehicle hits or bumps:
Check the vehicle's electrical system, including main battery cable and
alternator connections.
Install a filter capacitor (470uF/25volts) on the back of the cigarette lighter
socket across the power connections.
If the receiving signals are weak:
Check the angle of detector.
Point to the horizon.
Radar antenna / laser sensor is obstructed.
Relocate the detector clear of any obstruction outside the windshield, such
as a wiper blade (see mounting manual).
