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 metal objects into the
socket. Check that the cigarette lighter adaptor is inserted all the way into the
socket and 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 and 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, and then carefully
unscrew the ring by turning it counter clockwise.
