tfll"
LIDAR
(Laser)
The
correct
name
for
the
technology
that
most
people
refer
to
as
laser
is
actually
LIDAR,
which
stands
for
Light
Detection
and
Ranging.
LIDAR
operates
much
like
radar.
Its
signal
spreads
out
like
a
radar
signal,
though
not
as
widely.
Unlike
radar,
LIDAR
must
have
a
clear
line
of
sight
to
its
target
vehicle
throughout
the
entire
measurement
interval.
Obstructions
such
as
sign
posts
, utility
poles,
tree
branches,
etc
.,
will
prevent
valid
speed
measurement.
Some
common
questions
about
LIDAR
include:
•
Does
weather
have
any
affect
on
LIDAR?
Yes
.
Rain,
snow,
smoke
,
fog
or
airborne
dust
particles
will
reduce
the
effective
range
of
LIDAR
and
can,
if
dense
enough
,
prevent
its
operation
.
•
Can
LIDAR
operate
through
glass?
Yes
.
Newer
LIDAR
guns
can
obtain
readings
through
most
types
of
glass.
However
,
the
laser
pulse
also
can
be
received
through
glass
to
trigger
an
alarm
by
your
detector.
•
Can
LIDAR
operate
while
in
motion?
No
.
Because
LIDAR
operates
by
line
of
sight,
the
person
using
it
cannot
drive
the
vehicle,
aim
and
operate
the
gun
all
at
the
same
time.
•
Is
it
legal
for
police
to
use
LIDAR?
Yes,
LIDAR
is
allowed
to
be
used
in
all
50
States
by
police.
Your
detector
detects
LIDAR
(laser)
.
Maintenance
Your
detector
is
designed
and
built
to
give
you
years
of
trouble
-
free
performance
without
the

service.
No
routine
Maintenance
is
required.
If
your
unit
does
not
appear
to
be
operating
properly,
please
follow
these
troubleshooting
steps
:

Make
sure
the
power
cord

Make
sure
the
socket
of
your
vehicle's
cigarette
lighter
is
clean
and
free
of
corrosion
.

power
cord's
cigarette
lighter
