Installing the Escort 10057-1 Direct Wire SmartCord in your vehicle is a straightforward process. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Locate the in-vehicle fuse panel: The SmartCord needs to be connected to your vehicle's fuse panel. Find the fuse panel in your vehicle, which is usually located under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
2. Choose a suitable fuse slot: Identify a fuse slot that is powered when the ignition is turned on. This ensures that the SmartCord is only active when the vehicle is in use. Refer to your vehicle's manual or consult a professional if you're unsure which fuse slot to use.
3. Connect the SmartCord to the fuse slot: Remove the fuse from the chosen slot and insert the SmartCord's fuse tap into the slot. Then, insert the original fuse into the fuse tap. This allows the SmartCord to draw power from the fuse slot while still providing power to the original circuit.
4. Route the SmartCord: Route the SmartCord's cable from the fuse panel to the desired location of your radar detector. Make sure to avoid any moving parts or areas that could cause damage to the cable.
5. Connect the SmartCord to the radar detector: Plug the micro USB end of the SmartCord into the corresponding port on your radar detector. Ensure a secure connection.
6. Secure the SmartCord: Use zip ties or adhesive clips to secure the SmartCord along the route, keeping it neat and out of the way.
7. Test the installation: Start your vehicle and check if the SmartCord's LED display lights up, indicating that power is active. Test the radar detector to ensure it is receiving power and functioning properly.
Please note that while the installation process is relatively simple, it may vary depending on your vehicle's make and model. It is always recommended to consult the user manual provided with the SmartCord or seek professional installation assistance if you are unsure or uncomfortable working with vehicle wiring.
