Whistler Laser XTR-690SE - Manual (Page 3)

Important: S ome newer cars have a plastic safety
coating on the inside of the windshield. The
windshield bracket may leave permanent marks on
this type of surface. To find out if your vehicle has
this type of windshield, check the vehicle’s owner’s
manual or ask your dealer. We recommend that you
do not leave the suction cup bracket on the window
in direct sunlight. If the detector is removed, this
may cause blistering of the dash in some
vehicles.
• Slide the detector onto the bracket until it locks into
place.
• If necessary, the unit may be leveled by bending
the windshield bracket. Press the bracket release
button and remove the detector before bending.
Power Cord Connection
• Plug the small end of the power cord into the
unit’s power jack.
• Plug the large end into the vehicle’s cigarette
lighter socket.
N No otte e:: Cord fits tightly into detector. When
installing the cord, expect some resistance.
Fuse Replacement
The lighter socket plug is equipped with a
replaceable 2 amp, 3AG fuse located behind the
silver tip. To replace the fuse, carefully unscrew
the tip of the plug.
IIm
mp po orrtta an ntt:: Unscrew slowly. The tip contains a
spring which may fly out when disassembling.

the tip. With use, screw cap on plug may loosen.
