signal’s range very quickly and receive only a brief alert.
Although many times the probable source of the false signal
can be identified (supermarket, bank, commercial building,
etc.), caution is advised until the source can be confirmed.
The X band alert pattern caused by a non-police source can
look like the initial alert produced by actual police Radar. For
this reason appropriate action is required any time an alert is
received.
Laser Alerts
When Laser is detected, a flashing “
L
” will appear in the
Digital Display.
If a vehicle is a long distance from the source of Laser pulses,
fewer pulses will generally be received. The closer the vehicle
is to the source of Laser pulses, the greater the likelihood of
receiving a steady stream of Laser pulses. The reason for this
is the aiming stability of the Laser gun and the fact that it is
impossible to hold the gun absolutely still. Any movement of
the gun results in motion of the beam at the target. The further
the target, the greater the displacement of the beam and the
shorter the dwell time of the beam at the target point. There-
fore, there is the possibility of receiving only a few Laser pulses.
Due to these characteristics, all Laser alerts received from
your unit should be taken seriously.
