Hey guys i dont no how many of you have these but maybe you can help

I was installing my varad scanner today and it wasnt working correctly

Im not connecting it to an alarm so i just wired it to a switch but it wouldnt work but when i use a plug in inverter it works

What could be the problem

How did you wire it if you have one of these

Red wire - power
Blue - ? for alarm i think
Black- negative

What do i do with the blue with no alarm, i put it with the negative wire

any help?

I'm pretty sure you dont connect anything to the blue wire if you're not using it with an alarm. Just connect the ground and power wires and it should work.
