Conditions that Affect Radar Alerts
| If you feel your unit is not alerting properly, keep in mind that |
| there are many conditions that influence the intensity or |
| duration of an alert: |
. | The police are using |
| no signal is transmitted until visual contact has been made |
| with your vehicle. For detection of this signal, you must rely |
| on reflected signals from Radar directed at traffic traveling |
| ahead of you. |
. | The police Radar unit is positioned perpendicular to the road, |
| around a curve, or just over the crest of a hill, thus, significantly |
| reducing the reception range. |
. | The highway traffic between your vehicle and the police Radar |
| source is heavy. This blocks/reflects transmitted signals. The |
| presence of several large trucks between you and the police |
| Radar unit could also significantly reduce reception. |
.Rain or humid weather conditions can absorb transmitted signals before they reach your vehicle, again reducing detection range.
. | The police Radar unit is not properly tuned and is transmitting |
| outside the fcc allocated X, K or Super Wideband Ka frequency |
| ranges. |
