TROUBLESHOOTING
If the detector does not turn on:
• Check the power cord. 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.
• Make sure that the volume control is in the ON position.
Caution: Do not place any metal object other than the cigarette lighter or a
cigarette lighter plug in the cigarette lighter socket.
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.35volts) 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).
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your STAR is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.
The following suggestions will help you to handle your detector in a proper
way so you can enjoy it for years.
Never leave the detector on the windshield or dashboard when you park your
vehicle. The temperature in the vehicle in summer can reach levels above what is
considered to be safe for this detector.
To make you less susceptible to break-in and theft, remove the detector from
your windshield or dashboard when you leave your vehicle.
Do not expose the detector to moisture. Rain dew, road splash, or other liquids
can damage the internal components and reduce sensitivity of the detector.
