REPLACING THE FUSES
The fuses in the scanner’s DC power
cord and DC cigarette-lighter power
cord help protect your scanner from
power surges and short circuits. If the
fuse in the DC power cord has blown,
replace it with a 1-amp, fast-acting
glass fuse (such as RadioShack Cat.
No. 270-1005). For the fuse in the DC
cigarette-lighter power cord, replace it
with a 2-amp, fast-acting glass fuse
(such as RadioShack Cat. No. 270-
1007).
Warnings:
• Before you begin, turn off the
scanner and your vehicle’s igni-
tion.
• Make sure you replace the fuse
only with another fuse of the same
type and rating.
