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 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 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.

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 traffic conditions can affect the range that the Laser beam can be detected. ing
