Conditions that Affect Radar Alerts
If you feel your unit is not alerting properly, keep in
mind that there are many conditions that infl uence
the intensity or duration of an alert:
1. The police are using instant-on/pulsed Radar, in which
case no signal is transmitted until visual contact has
been made with your vehicle. For detection of this
signal, you must rely on refl ected signals from Radar
directed at traffi c traveling ahead of you.
2. The police Radar unit is positioned perpendicular to
the road, around a curve, or just over the crest of a
hill, thus, signifi cantly reducing the reception range.
3. The highway traffi c between your vehicle and the
police Radar source is heavy, blocking or refl ecting
transmitted signals. The presence of several large
trucks between you and the police Radar unit could
also signifi cantly reduce reception.
4. Rain or humid weather conditions can absorb
transmitted signals before they reach your vehicle,
again reducing detection range.
5. The police Radar unit is not properly tuned and is
transmitting outside allocated X, K or Super
Wideband Ka frequency ranges.
Conditions that Affect Laser Alerts
If you feel your unit is not properly alerting to the
presence of Laser signals, keep in mind that rain, fog,
high humidity and other weather conditions can affect
the range that the Laser beam can be detected.
