Using the cigarette lighter socket
The Evolution comes with a power cable designed to plug into your
vehicles cigarette lighter socket. Take the lead and plug the smaller end
into the DC 12v input socket on the back of the Evolution and plug the
cigarette lighter adaptor into your vehicles cigarette lighter socket.
Please Note: Do not leave your Evolution plugged into the cigarette
lighter socket when you start your vehicle. The cigarette lighter socket is
prone to power surges as the vehicle is started and this may cause
damage to your unit.
If the device does not power up please check that the cigarette lighter
socket is clean of any debris, remembering not to insert any metal objects
into the socket, check that the cigarette lighter adaptor is inserted all the
way into the socket and to check that the fuse in the cigarette lighter
adaptor is operational. If your Evolution will still not power up, please
check that the cigarette lighter in your vehicle is functioning correctly.
Replacing the Fuse
If the Evolution stops operating, the fuse in the cigarette lighter plug may
have blown. If it has blown, follow these steps to replace it with a 2 amp,
5 x 20mm, fast acting fuse.
Caution: Using a fuse that does not meet these ratings or defeating fuse
protection can damage your unit, the power cable, or the vehicles
electrical system.
1. Grasp the ring near the tip of the cigarette lighter plug, then carefully
unscrew the ring by turning it counterclockwise.
