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 RX65’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.
• RX65 may be in City Mode.
• VASCAR (Visual Average Speed Computer and Recorder) a
stopwatch method of speed detection, may be in use.
• Officer may not have radar or laser unit turned on.
• Safety transmitters may not be commonly used in your area.
• Press the BRT button to deactivate Dark Mode.
• RX65 is in AutoMute Mode. See page 8 for details.

stability. While holding down RX65’s QuickMount button,
slide RX65 toward the windshield so that the back top edge
makes firm contact.

RX65 to be briefly disconnected.
