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:
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 reflected signals from Radar
directed at traffic traveling ahead of you.
