Cautions: Some new models of cars have a plastic safety coating which is
applied to the windshield. The suction cups may leave permanent marks on
the windshield once they are removed. Check vehicle owner's manual to see
if your car has the plastic safety coating.
C. Connecting the Power
The detector is designed to operate on most DC12V negative ground vehicle
electrical systems. The power cord provided with the detector has a cigarette
lighter socket plug at one end and a small connector at the other.
1. Insert the small connector into the jack on the side of the detector.
2. Insert the other end into the cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle.
If the detector does not operate when you turn it on, remove the adapter from
the cigarette lighter socket and carefully check the socket for debris. Also, check
the fuse in the adapter and your vehicle's fuse box.
D. Replacing the Fuse
If the detector STAR stops operating, the fuse in the cigarette lighter plug
might be blown. If it has blown, follow these steps to replace it:
1. To replace the fuse, unscrew the top of the plug.
2. Remove the fuse and check the fuse to see if it has blown. If it has, replace it.
