The detector gives a
false alert when you use
vehicle accessories such
as power windows,
motorized mirrors,
brakes, and so on.
Check the vehicle's electrical sys-
tem for loose connections, includ-
ing the main battery cable and
alternator connections.
Install a filter capacitor (1000
µ
F,
35 volts, such as RadioShack Cat.
No. 272-1032) on the back of the
cigarette lighter socket, across the
power connections.
The detector performs
the self-test, but does not
respond to radar signals
when you see a police
car.
A police car might not be
equipped with radar (see the sup-
plied booklet,
Questions and
Answers About Vehicle Speed
Detection
).
Police might be using VASCAR-
type speed detection (see the
supplied booklet,
Questions and
Answers About Vehicle Speed
Detection
).
The detector has poor
laser detection range.
Be sure the laser detection lens is
not blocked.
Be sure the detector is properly
mounted. See “Selecting a Mount-
ing Location” on Page 8.”
Use lens-cleaning solution to
clean the laser detection lens.
