Troubleshooting
Problem
The Pro100 beeps briefly at the
same location every day, but no
radar source is in sight.
The Pro100 does not seem sensitive
to radar or laser.
The Pro100 did not alert when a
police car was in view.
The Pro100 did not provide a Safety
signal while within range of an
emergency vehicle.
The Pro100’s display is not working.
The Pro100’s audible alerts are less
loud after the first few alerts.
The Pro100 bounces or sags on
windshield.
The Pro100’s power-on sequence
reoccurs while you are driving.
Solution
• An X or K-band motion sensor or intrusion alarm is
located within range of your route. With time, you will learn
predictable patterns of these signals.
• Make sure that windshield wipers do not block your
Pro100’s radar antenna and that the laser lens is not behind
tinted areas.
• Determine if your vehicle has an Instaclear®, ElectriClear®
or solar reflective windshield which may deflect radar or laser
signals.
• Your Pro100 may be in City Mode.
• VASCAR (Visual Average Speed Computer and Recorder) a
stopwatch method of speed detection, may be in use.
• Officer may not have radar or laser unit turned on.
• Safety transmitters may not be commonly used in your area.
• Press the BRT button to deactivate Dark Mode.
• The Pro100 is in AutoMute Mode. See page 8 for details.
• The Pro100 is not making contact with the windshield
to provide stability. While holding down the Pro100’s
QuickMount button, slide the Pro100 toward the windshield
so that the back top edge makes firm contact.
• A loose power connection or dirty lighter socket can cause
the Pro100 to be briefly disconnected.
