Perform a self test

Press the Test key, located approximately in the middle of the remote control.

This causes the radar to perform an internal test of the processing circuitry.

First, the radar will light up all of its display elements in a segment test. Next

the radar will tell you the software revision, for example “bEE III 010” for

BEE III revision 1.0. Finally, the radar will test itself with two Doppler tones,

first in stationary mode at 32 mph and then at 32/32 in moving mode. You will

also hear the Doppler audio associated with these test speeds. If all of the

checks are successful, the radar will respond with a double “test OK” beep.

Otherwise the radar will indicate a “fail” condition by displaying “Err”.

Immediately after passing the internal test, the letter “F” will be momentarily

displayed in the target window. The “F” indicates that the radar is in the tuning

fork test mode. See page 24 for details on the tuning fork tests. The unit will

stay in the tuning fork mode for approximately 30 seconds.

The BEE III periodically tests itself while the radar is operating. If no errors

are detected, the radar will give indication of this with a “test OK” tone set. If

an error is detected, the BEE III will indicate this by displaying “Err” and

ceasing to display target speeds. In the event of a test failure, the radar should

be removed from service until the problem can be remedied. In no case will

the BEE III process speeds when an error condition is present.

Select the operating mode

Look at the radar’s remote control. You will notice a cluster

of raised rubber buttons on the top portion of the remote.

Two of these buttons, the half-moon shaped ones, are used

for used to select the operating mode. The left button selects

opposite direction moving mode (normal moving radar), and

the right position selects same direction moving mode.

Press the Front button. This causes the front antenna to

transmit, if one is connected to the radar. Notice that the

radar responds to all wireless commands with a beep, letting

you know the BEE III understood and executed the action.

The selected mode will be illustrated in the MODE window,

which is located on the BEE III's front panel. The green car is

lighted (meaning that you are not in Standby), and since you
