Solution
• An X-band motion sensor or intrusion alarm is located within
range of your route. With time, you will learn predictable
patterns of these signals.
• Make sure that windshield wipers do not block V995’s radar
antenna and that the laser lens is not behind tinted areas.
• Determine if your vehicle has an Instaclear
®
, ElectriClear
®
or
solar reflective windshield which may deflect radar or laser
signals.

• VASCAR (Visual Average Speed Computer and Recorder) a
stopwatch method of speed detection, may be in use.

V995 to be briefly disconnected.
