2. Remove the tip from the cigarette-lighter plug, then
remove the old fuse.
Note: The tip is in two pieces. Take care not to lose
either piece or the spring inside the holder.
3. Replace the fuse with a 1-Amp, 5 × 20 mm, fast-act-
ing fuse (Cat. No. 270-1049).
Caution: Using a fuse that does not meet these rat-
ings or defeating the fuse protection can damage
your detector or the vehicle's electrical system.
4. Press the cigarette-lighter plug's tip down into the
body, then screw it back in.
Caution: Be sure you press the cigarette-lighter
plug's tip down before screwing it in, or you might
damage the plug.
