      If your Uniden Radar Detector DFR8 doesn't alert you when a police car is nearby, it might be because the officer's radar/laser isn't active. Also, verify that the band is turned on. Press the MENU button to check band settings; if a band is off, the OLED will display 'OFF'. Turn the band on.

      The Uniden Radar Detector may be alarming briefly in the same location because a motion sensor or house alarm is in use within range.
