Problem

V995 beeps briefly at the same  
location every day, but no radar 
source is in sight.

V995 does not seem sensitive to 
radar or laser.

V995 did not alert when a police 
car was in view.

V995 did not provide a Safety signal 
while within range of an 
emergency vehicle.

V995’s display is not working.

V995’s audible alerts are less loud 
after the first few alerts.

V995 bounces or sags on 
windshield.

V995’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 V995’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.
• V995 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.

• V995 is in AutoMute Mode. See page 8 for details.

• V995 is not making contact with the windshield to provide 
stability. While holding down V995’s QuickMount button, 
slide V995 toward the windshield so that the back top edge 
makes firm contact.

• A loose power connection or dirty lighter socket can cause 
V995 to be briefly disconnected.

Problem

Your 14-year old son has changed 
all 7 of the Programming options.

V995 will not turn on.

V995 feels very warm. 

Solution

• You can return all of the programming options to the 
factory defaults by holding down the CITY and BRT buttons 
while you turn V995 on.

• Check that the power is ON.
• Check that vehicle ignition is ON.
• Check that vehicle lighter socket is functional.
• Try 

V995

 in another vehicle.

• It is normal for V995 to feel warm.
