Maintenance of Your
Radar Detector
Your ESD-9050 is designed and built to
give you years of trouble-free performance
without the need for service. No routine
maintenance is required.
If your unit does not appear to be
operating properly, please follow
these troubleshooting steps:
Make sure the power cord is
properly connected.
Make sure the socket of your vehicle's
cigarette lighter is clean and free
of corrosion.
Make sure the power cord's cigarette
lighter adapter is firmly seated in your
cigarette lighter.
Check the power cord fuse. (Unscrew
the ribbed end cap of the cigarette
lighter adapter and examine the fuse.
If required, replace it with a 1-amp
fuse only.)
